About On Your Doorstep

The Oldham Advertiser has teamed up with Oldham Council to launch a new photographic competition, On Your Doorstep.

We want to build up a gallery of images of your favourite places across the borough. It could be the stunning beauty of Dovestone reservoir, the spendour of Alexandra Park or the old mill close to your home that stands as a reminder of Oldham’s industrial past.
Whatever stirs your imagination, we want you to send it to us.

Each week, a panel of judges will sit down and pick the four best photographs, which will be published in the Advertiser. From that four the judges will choose a weekly winner.

The images will also be projected onto the council ‘Big Screen’ at various locations across the borough.

The competition will run for eight weeks before the public will get their chance to vote for the overall winner in our People's Choice grand finale, which will be followed by a glittering awards event in September. The overall winner’s 'money can't buy' prize will include having their photograph taking pride of place in a prominent location in Oldham.

We've made it easy for you to enter - register with Flickr and upload your photos to this group.

PLEASE make sure that you let us know the location shown in your photograph.

It couldn’t be simpler – so get snapping!

NOTE: As the final image is going to be produced in an extra large format, we need the original image needs to be high resolution - a minimum of 7MB. Once the images are uploaded onto Flickr, the council hopes to use them on its tourism promotional materials and website, which means your image could help promote Oldham to the world. Any pictures will remain the property of the photographer, who will be credited, and the Council will approach them on an individual basis should it hope to use them in any marketing.
