We are so excited to reveal something that our volunteers have secretly been working on...
📸 The Friends are hosting a photography competition this Autumn!
We want to celebrate Heysham for Lancashire Day this November, and what better way than to invite local photographers, whether hobbyist or professional, to submit your photos showcasing our wonderful village?
Competition overview:
· Photographs can be entered from 1st September 2026 – 1st November 2026
· There are 2 categories – Junior (15 and under) and Adult (16 and over)
· Entries from both categories will be selected and exhibited in Heysham Library for all library visitors to enjoy
· Photographs will be judged anonymously by representatives from The Friends of Heysham Library and Morecambe Camera Club along with a special guest judge
· A special open exhibition evening will be held Thursday 16th November from 6:30pm to celebrate the exhibition and in recognition of Lancashire Day, which occurs annually every November
· The winner from each category will be announced and awarded during the evening. We will be pleased to award the winner from the Adult category with 1 year’s free membership of Morecambe Camera Club and a library goodie bag, and the winner from the Junior category with a junior library goodie bag
· All exhibitors will receive a professionally printed copy of their photograph following the exhibition

Any more questions?
Please email [email protected] and a volunteer will get in touch as soon as possible.
We cannot wait for the full exhibit to come together in November and hope you will join us to celebrate the many views of Heysham.
Please do share with anyone who may be interested, and we want to extend a massive thank you to Morecambe Camera Club for their support with this competition! 🦀🧡
