The Clerkenwell Community Photography Competition is back, and open for entries.

Photograph your best friend, a stylish stranger or local character. Take a shot of where you go to school, or to work, or to play. A pet, a park or a pattern. From historic buildings to modern cuisine, from hipsters to high rises, social issues to your social life, this area is a photographer’s paradise. We want you to capture whatever aspect of the area you fancy.

You just need to take your photo within the boundaries of this map:
