A competition to feature photographs of Kilwinning in a new calendar has been launched.

Organised by the Choose Kilwinning community group, the sales from the Kilwinning Calendar, set to debut in the second half of the year, will raise essential money for future town events.

The free-to-enter competition will result in 12 photos being selected and there's a grand prize for the overall winner.

Entries should be emailed to choosekilwinning@gmail.com and submitted before August 6.

Aaran McDonald, chair of Choose Kilwinning, said: “This is a fantastic opportunity to help showcase our beautiful town while also helping raise funds to support our town’s events.”

Marelene McGaw, vice-chair of Choose Kilwinning, said: “You don’t have to be a professional photographer. We are really encouraging everyone to get involved and help create an amazing calendar showcasing our town."

The calendar will be on sale at the end of the year.
