About

Each year, Newry, Mourne and Down District Council hosts its popular amateur photography competition in partnership with Ards and North Down Borough Council and the Mourne Heritage Trust.

This competition celebrates the breathtaking beauty of the district's three Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONBs): the Mournes, the Ring of Gullion, and Strangford and Lecale.

The winning entries are not only brought together in the highly anticipated AONB Calendar but are also displayed annually at Down County Museum.
