ENVIRONMENTALIST David Bellamy will judge a photography competition at a charity shop in Darlington.
Barnardos's, on Post House Wynd, which used to be a photography and developing shop, is holding the competition to raise money.
Shop manager Jill Payne said: "We had a lot of old cameras donated to us, which sold very well, and there seems to be a huge interest in photography amongst quite a few of our customers. I then got the idea of holding the competition and gathering a lot of photography-related prizes."
The competition is open to people of all ages and the theme is the North.
Ms Payne said: "Entries can be animals, landscapes, landmarks, activities, anything really, as long as it typifies the North."
It costs 50p an entry and people can enter as many times as they like. Photographs should be five by seven inches, not framed or mounted, and negatives must be supplied as well. The closing date is November 3 and judging will take place on November 6.
The winning shots will be exhibited in the shop for a week.
