We've just found out about an exciting photographic competition for young people in Eastern England, being organised by the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF). We're pleased to support this competition, because the HLF has generously supported many RSPB projects.

The competiton is open to youngsters aged 13 to 20 living in the East of England. You're asked to send creative images of what heritage means to you - including the wonderful natural heritage here on te Suffolk coast. First prize is £250, plus a similar amount for a school or youth group of your choice.

The catch? The deadline is 30 April, so you don't have long to enter. For full details, and an appplication for, go to the HLF website at www.hlf.org.uk/inyourarea/EastOfEngland/Pages/PhotographyCompetition.aspx

Good luck, and don't forget - you can also post photos of Minsmere on the community pages.
