£50 Amazon voucher up for grabs in parks I-Spy competition

Chelmsford City Council is offering the chance for someone to win a great prize by entering their new Facebook competition.

As of today, a £50 Amazon voucher is up for grabs if you can spot and photograph three things:

• The tallest tree
• A flower
• Something man-made

These items must be found in one of the parks in Chelmsford – you’ll need to do some exploring to find what we’re asking for!

Parks in Chelmsford are accessible to all and are a great place to socialise and meet your friends. That’s why you should get out to your local park today and investigate your local park for some wonderful scenery to take a snapshot of.

You can enter the competition via the Chelmsford City Council Facebook post. All you need to do is comment on the post with your three photographs. All entries that meet the criteria will be entered into a prize draw. You’ll be in with more of a chance of winning if you comment with the park where the image was taken. What can you spy on your journey of park discovery?
