The Friends of York Walls would like to invite you to take part in the 2012 Friends of York Walls Photo Competition. Entitled “A Year in the life of York Walls” , the theme is open to individual interpretation but entries must have the Defences of York at their heart.

The competition is open to anyone, but it will be necessary to register as a member of The Friends of York in order to submit your entry. Entry is FREE, but a donation of £1 per image would be appreciated to cover the administration and printing costs. The competition closes at midnight on Sunday 30th September 2012. The overall winner will receive a prize of £100 worth of vouchers from an outlet selected by the winner.

To view the rules of the competition in full and to submit your entries, visit the Photo Contest page here.

Take eight intrepid staff and volunteers from YAC and the CBA, add in Roman tunics, helmets, spears, shields, swords, a standard and a replica Roman trumpet and you have a crack Roman unit, otherwise known as a contubernium, ready to conquer six laps of York’s City Walls in aid of the Dig Deep for YAC campaign!  And conquer it they did on Wednesday 1st February!
