#6 CHD network staff photographic competition - theme 'Wildlife across the Network.'
Throughout October 2024 we received photo entries from CHD Network staff, who have taken photos whilst out and about or during their commute to work. The theme of nature and wellbeing has never been so relevant; getting out into nature can have a huge positive impact on our mental health as well as physical health. Photography can also add value to our lives, by capturing moments or places, and also allows us to share experiences with others. We have loved seeing the variety of photos sent in and have been really impressed with the creativity of each entry.
The staff competition will run twice a year and each time we will select a winner and runners up! Our winning 'photographer of the season' will have their photo published in the CHD network newsletter, and entries will be available to view here on the network website and may even feature in other network publications or social media.
We hope you enjoy looking through all the entries!
