This category celebrates open spaces and the places where we love to relax and enjoy the feeling of well-being. It could be that people are the subject of your photography or it could be animals or plants; perhaps a landscape - a wide vista or a favourite hideaway.

The judges will be looking for those images that express peace, contentment and enjoyment.

You can enter your photographs of Trust properties freely into the competition. But your entries can be of any open space or green location.

If your entry is from a National Trust property please note our rule 10.1.7
You agree not to use, or permit the use of, any images taken of or from National Trust sites for any purpose other than entering this competition or your own personal use. You expressly agree not to use such images for commercial purposes such as sale or license to third parties.
