Discover Ashfield, which has been launched to promote the district, has launched a photography competition.

It said: “Ashfield is a great place to live, work, shop and visit — now it is looking for people to share their photographs that capture their experiences in Ashfield.

“If you are a local amateur photographer and want to help promote and increase awareness of Discover Ashfield then our photography competition is for you!”

There are four categories to enter:

Well-being
People
Place
Business

The images could capture a place of work, a community group or club, local event, sports club, historical site or one of Ashfield’s many outdoor spaces.

Winners of each category will receive a £100 in high street vouchers and the best images will also feature on the Discover Ashfield website, Ashfield Matters and other promotional material throughout the year.

You can enter up to a maximum of three photographs each being a minimum size of 2mb.

The closing date for entries is Friday, 18th October.

Winners will be announced on Tuesday, 5th November.

Entries should be made at www.ashfield.gov.uk/photographycompetition
