THE closing date to submit photographs for the 2010 Marsden and Slaithwaite calendar is approaching.

Photographers have until May 6 to send their images of the life and scenery of Marsden, Slaithwaite and the surrounding countryside to Marsden Information Point, Peel Street, Marsden.

The photos must be in colour, in landscape format and can be taken with a digital or a analogue camera.

The winners will receive a framed enlargement of their photograph and a copy of the calendar.

Part of the money raised goes towards the Marsden and Slaithwaite Christmas lights.
