Fairhurst Accountants are proud to once again sponsor the ‘Wigan in Photos’ competition, which highlights what a great place Wigan is to live - with stunning scenery, wildlife and architecture.

A spokesperson from Fairhurst said: “This is our third year of sponsoring the competition and we have been very impressed with the creativity of the photographs which bring out the real beauty in some of our well known and not so well known local places.

“We hope that this year Wigan inspires even more people to enter the competition. As an accountancy firm, we obviously spend much of our time looking at financial details for clients.

“Although we love what we do, it is a welcome change to be part of this imaginative and visual process and to recognise the obvious talent and ability the local community have, to create such amazing images. We have always been keen to take part in local initiatives and help people to account for their potential.

“We find the ‘Wigan in Photos’ competition particularly interesting, as it gives the whole community the opportunity to take part and be included, with the judges only looking at the merits of the pictures themselves, as opposed to the photographic experience.

“Many pictures will be taken on phones and tablets, as well as cameras, some on impulse and others with much planning. This is what makes this competition special and we would like to thank each and everyone who takes part.
