This month the Beacon has had some fabulous entries for its calendar competition, making it a very tough call to decide the winner. However, one image stands out as a superb representation of the majesty of our surrounding countryside. 'On the Edge', by Adam Handley, is taken on Pen-y-Fan looking onto Monmouthshire and gives a glorious view of our inspiring landscape. Thousands of people climb the mountain every month, come rain or shine, not just because it is the highest of the Black Mountain peaks at 886 feet but because the view, if you are lucky enough to be afforded it, is spectacular. Adam wins free entry to St Arvans' Wydncliffe Court and sculpture gardens, complete with afternoon tea for two. Next month, our winning entry (received before 19th September) will win two tickets to Chepstow Racecourse. The 2015 calendar will be raising money towards the Prince of Wales' Countryside Fund, which gives grants and advice to projects that help support the people who care for the countryside across the UK. Photographs taken by all ages will be accepted and all those submitted will go forward to be considered for the calendar. Former Secretary of State for Wales, Rt Hon David Jones MP said: "Their work supports a range of key projects in Wales, including apprenticeships and training for young people, practical and pastoral support for existing farmers, business support for women and projects to educate schoolchildren." Helen Aldis, Manager of The Prince's Countryside Fund said: "Wales is a very important rural area for the fund. We are looking for more projects to help in the region – as well as making contact with companies based in Wales to explore how they can join in and support our work. "The issues The Prince's Countryside Fund tackles – low farming incomes, decline in rural communities, access for training for young people and rural isolation – are all major issues in Wales. We're dedicated to supporting projects that address these." No matter how old you are, if you are a professional or amateur snapper, if you have taken a photograph of the Monmouthshire countryside and think it might be good enough to be displayed in next year's calendar, send your entry via email to beaconnews @tindlenews.co.uk, or post it to 56 Monnow Street, Monmouth, NP25 3XJ. All entries will be considered for the calendar, and our favourite will win those sought-after racecourse tickets.
