YOUNG photographers across the Stroud area are being encouraged to get snapping.

Following the success of last year's inaugural event, Stroud Camera Club is running its Young Photographer of 2016 competition.

BBC Points West presenter Sabet Choudhury will present the prizes, with the winner getting £150 of photography vouchers, at an awards ceremony hosted by sponsors Renishaw on September 28.

The competition is open to anyone aged 18 or under, living or attending school or college in the Stroud district.
