Worcestershire youngsters have the chance to get their photographs published in a competition run by Severn Trent Water.

Education staff from the water company are asking children to capture pictures that reflect the importance of water to our lives.

Winners will have their photograph published in a book put together by Severn Trent Water called Images of Water, and will be awarded with a camera and a photograph album.

The overall winners from each age group will receive £250 for their school.

The competition is open to everyone aged five to 18 years and closing date for entries is Friday, October 31.
