Could you take an award-winning wildlife photograph at Sculpture by the Lakes?

Art In Nature

DESCRIBED as one of Britain’s most beautiful sculpture parks, the multi-award-winning Sculpture by the Lakes, near Dorchester, is a tranquil and inspiring setting in which to appreciate both art and nature. Its 26 acres are a haven for wildlife - from butterfly and beetle to otter and kingfisher. This is the magnificent backdrop for an exciting photographic competition that focuses on the wildlife that lives, visits and flourishes within the sculpture park.
