PHOTOGRAPHERS from the Vale of Glamorgan are invited to take part in a event capturing images in Barry this October.

Participants can join this live event to be in with a chance of winning a day rental of a Barry Island beach hut and a place on an online Mindful Photography course.

The inaugural PhotoBARRYthon is organised by the Barry Making Waves project and gives local people the chance to document the town on a particular day, using a variety of topics with mobile phones or digital cameras.

Visitors to the town will be able to explore Barry and discover how photogenic a place it is.
