Amateur photographers are invited to get creative and capture “A Day in the Life of Montrose Port” as part of a community photography competition being run by the Port Authority.

With lots happening in and around the Port, there are many subjects to choose from – from vessels, buildings and some amazing wildlife. So get snapping!

The competition, which is free to enter, is open to secondary school pupils and adults and the winners in each category will receive a £50 Amazon gift voucher as well as having their winning image framed and displayed in the Port Authority offices.

So good luck and happy snapping!
