Last year’s photography competition at Nene Park was such a success it’s being repeated.
They received so many great entries for the current calendar that many images which didn’t make it in print have since been put on display in an exhibition at Ferry Meadows, running alongside the path by Overton Lake, between the Visitor Centre and Badger Play.
The green space at Nene Park in Peterborough has become even more important to many of us in recent times and keen local photographers took some fantastic images of the landscape and wildlife.
Now they’re looking for more contributions in the new monthly competition which will have changing themes.
The idea is to encourage budding and experienced photographers to think outside the box, search for seasonal nature and wildlife and visit the different areas of the Park.

At the beginning of every month, the new theme will be announced and the winning entry from the previous month shared. The theme for January is winter wildlife. Photos can be taken in any area of Nene Park – Ferry Meadows, Orton Mere, Woodston Reach, Thorpe Meadows or the Rural Estate – but must feature local wildlife to be considered.
This year, the monthly winners will receive a £20 voucher to spend in a Park venue of their choice – the Visitor Centre & Gift Shop, Lakeside Farm Shop or Nene Outdoors Watersports & Activity Centre.
The winners will also enjoy the accolade of their photograph being shared on the Nene Park social media pages, displayed in their annual winter photography exhibition and featured in the 2023 Nene Park fundraising calendar. All proceeds raised from calendar sales go straight back into maintaining and nurturing the greenspaces within Nene Park, for all the community to enjoy.
