WHI runs a monthly photographic competition with a prize for each month's winner. We offer anyone involved in health walks the opportunity to send in their digital photos for consideration in this ongoing 'photo of the month' project.
The winning photo each month is displayed for a short period on the homepage and then posted on the website's PHOTO NOTICEBOARD.
Entries for July are now being received and the theme for this month is Out and About. The deadline is 31st July 2009.The winner will receive a WHI rain jacket (M or XL, dark blue) or a WHI fleece hat, gloves and neckwarmer set (dark blue).
To take part, please send:
your digital image
an explanatory caption
a sentence or two about your involvement with health walks - including the name of the local scheme you walk with, if relevant
Please note If you submit an entry, the Walking the way to Health Initiative and its sponsors may reproduce, publish or exhibit the image in any form. It is the photographer's responsibility to ensure they have permission from all the models in the photo.
We recommend that all schemes fill in the attached form to record that they have permission from the people in photographs which they take.
We do not need to see a copy of these forms but it is the scheme's responsibility to store and maintain them.
The Walking the way to Health Initiative (WHI) has helped to create over 538 local health walk schemes and has trained more than 40,000 volunteer walk leaders. Since 2000, it is estimated that we've encouraged over a million people to walk more.
