The themes will include people, places, the natural world and the twenty of the best photographs from each theme will be displayed digitally within the exhibition.

Former chair of Chichester Camera Club, Lorna Brown OBE, said: “This is a wonderful opportunity to work in partnership with The Novium Museum to celebrate our long history and the many ways the area in and around Chichester has inspired our members.”

Additional to submitting photographs for each theme, participants will also have the chance to take part in a monthly caption competition and other interactive elements.
