The ‘My Summer’ photo competition, running during July and August, invites people to capture their favourite West of Ireland summer moments and be in with a chance to win the top prize worth €1,500.
Photos can be of a great memory, the fun and excitement of attending one of the region’s many festivals or just a lazy, relaxing day that captures the appeal of the West of Ireland.
Entry is free, and photos can be uploaded through the competition link on www.lookwest.ie or on the LookWest.ie Facebook page.
The WDC hopes that photos which capture the uniqueness and magic of the seven county region, from county Donegal to county Clare will communicate a positive message to a worldwide audience of the many attractions and benefits of the Western Region.
After the photo submission closing date (August 4th) a shortlist of the top 50 photographs will be compiled. Shortlisted photos will be chosen based on a combination of their popularity on social media networks and an expert judging panel.
Shortlisted photos will then be displayed online via LookWest.ie and Facebook for members of the public to view and vote for their favourite and thereby select the overall winning photo.
Winners will be announced in late August and the WDC has partnered with the five star Lough Eske Castle Hotel, just outside Donegal town, for the top prize of a luxurious weekend for four people. The prize, worth almost €1,500, also includes a surfing, fishing or golf activity.
