The Photo Must Be Taken in, of, or From Birkenhead

The Birkenhead Photo Competition is about capturing what people love about living, working, and playing in Birkenhead.

Therefore, photos should be in, of, or around Birkenhead (the word ‘around’ should not be confused with ‘surrounding’ areas) For the purpose of this competition, we will use the map below to define Birkenhead.
