The Museum would especially like to thank everyone who entered the competition which is open to professional and budding photographers of all ages. The idea of the competition is to encourage photography of northern Devon, Lundy Island and Exmoor National Park and to showcase the wonderful talent that we have in the area in the resulting 'North Devon in Photographs' exhibition which runs until the 9th January 2016 at the Museum.
Admission is FREE so come and see what's been captured through the lens!
