We’ll be sharing some of your amazing photographs over the coming months and a few of our own (in case you need some inspiration). The competition closes on the 14 September 2015. The entries will be judged by CITiZAN Project Leader, Gustav Milne and archaeological photographer Andy Chopping. Winners will be announced on Facebook and Twitter and will be invited (along with 4 runners up) to have their photographs shared on our blog.
