Amateur photographers are being urged to enter a competition raising money for charity.
Ellesmere Mayor, Councillor Anne Wignall, has launched the competition in aid of her charities, Ellesmere Food Share and local youth organisations.
People are encouraged to submit up to five photographs that capture the very best of Ellesmere.
"That could include images of people, places, wildlife or buildings," she said.

The winning photographs will be included in a permanent exhibition at Ellesmere Town Hall and used in future publicity. There are two age categories, under 16 and 16 and over. The first prize winner in each category will also receive a gift voucher.
