Competition Details

It's spring time and lambs are jumping, flowers are sprouting and it's raining nearly everyday. We don't want that to put you off though, as the theme for this month's competition is Spring Landscapes.

We want to see your nicest landscapes featuring some kind of spring time theme. You might want to go into your local field and photograph the lambs with sprawling countryside in the distance or show some sprouting buds growing from the branches of a tree on moorland.

The choice always yours as long as there are references to spring and landscapes in it, you could be this month's winner.
