The Landguard Peninsula is a unique, exciting and diverse location for photographic opportunities – huge container ships, wonderful wildlife, amazing objects at the Felixstowe Museum and the historic Fort.

After six successful years, the Landguard Partnership have launched their seventh Photography Competition for 2017 – where you could win a cash prize of £50 to put towards photographic equipment, plus a framed copy of your photograph.
