Kate Humble to judge Penterry Photography Competition
Kate Humble |
Kate Humble is taking time in her action packed schedule of TV appearances,
including the current series of Springwatch, to help local church fundraisers
with a unique photography competition.
Volunteers have organised the competition, in conjunction with the Wye Valley
Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), to raise much-needed funds for the
medieval church of St Mary’s, Penterry. Nestling between St Arvans and Tintern
the building has a fascinating history standing by the site of a deserted plague
village and surrounded by a landscape of hills and forests of the Wye Valley.
Celebrating this magical beauty of Penterry and the surrounding area is the theme
of the competition and entrants should aim to capture its unique qualities in
their photographs.

Prizes generously donated by Tintern photographer Sheryl Long, Chepstow Bookshop,
a Gwent Wildlife Trust, the Piercefield, St Arvans as well as cash prizes will
be awarded at the Photography Exhibition, Penterry Church on the 13th September.
Kate will be judging the entries alongside, members of the church committee,
Andrew Blake, Wye Valley AONB Officer and Sean Carman from Monmouth Photo
Centre. The successful entries will also feature on a calendar and be used for
promotional purposes for the Church.
