Councillor Peter Wilson, Deputy Leader of Chorley Council said, "The Chorley Flower show gives us all a chance to appreciate the natural landscape around us.

"We can all benefit from getting a little bit closer to nature and this competition is a great chance for amateur photographers and families alike to get involved and capture the incredible landscapes and wildlife we have in Chorley.

"You don't need any fancy equipment or expensive cameras; a great artistic eye and a camera phone is all you need. We always get such incredible quality images submitted and I cannot wait to see what we get this year. Good luck!"

The three-day Chorley Flower Show will run from Friday 29 to Sunday 31 July and tickets are now available at www.chorleyflowershow.com
