A photography competition that celebrates rural life is now open to entries from Kilkenny.
Following on the great success and huge response to last year’s inaugural competition, ICMSA has great pleasure in announcing its continued support and co-production — with Hedgerows Ireland — of the National Photography Competition.
This competition is aimed at capturing the natural beauty of this invaluable aspect of our rural heritage with specific focus on the pivotal role that hedgerows play in ensuring healthy biodiversity.
The organisers particularly want young people in Kilkenny to use their phone cameras to get a pic that captures all the magnificence of our beautiful hedgerows at this time of the year.
Just scan the QR code (below) and submit your pic following the instructions given.
“ICMSA is always looking for opportunities to show the real commitment of their farmer-members to the environment and nature.
“The massive volume of entries to the competition showed the appetite of the public and the growing appreciation and awareness of the critical role and indispensability of our rural hedges,” said the President of ICMSA, Kilkenny farmer Denis Drennan
Substantial cash prizes are offered in both categories ‘Senior’ and ‘Under 18s’ and the winners in both categories will have their cheques presented by An Taoiseach, Michael Martin, at the ICMSA AGM in the Limerick Radisson on Friday, November 28.
