Are you a proud Essex girl/guy? Or are you just a fan of the infamous county… if so, show us your Essex! We all spend so much of our lives snapping away so I’ve found a little something you can do with all of those photographs stashed away on hard drives, SD Cards and mobile phone storage!
The Essence of Essex is a photography competition being held by Firstsite, home of contemporary arts in Colchester.

I’m off to sift through all of my photos to find my favourites to enter, I’m sure I have some better than this picnic! Maybe a sunset or something of a hidden gem, afterall I do take far too many photos!
