We are only a week into our Summer Pix 16 contest and already we have had hundreds of entries, as all over the country you try to capture the essence of summer in a photograph. Keep the entries coming in: the contest runs for three more weeks. The judges have their eyes out for the stand out images of the Summer of 2016. Happy snapping.
How to enter: The Irish Times Summer Pix 16 competition in association with Harvey Norman
We want your best photographs of the summer. Send high-resolution images to summerpix16@irishtimes.com to be in with a chance of winning our prize, a Canon EOS 100D Digital SLR Camera (RRP €549). Each Friday, we’ll display the best photos sent in that week, and at the end of August we’ll print the winning photograph. The photos must be taken in summer 2016. They can be taken with any kind of camera or phone. We regret we cannot respond to each entry, but we will be in touch if your photograph is going to be published. Happy snapping.
