Staffordshire Police has opened an online photograph competition ahead of the national 101 non emergency number launch.
People can enter the contest by taking a picture which incorporates ‘101’ using everyday items. A shortlist will then be picked, which will be posted onto the force’s Facebook site for public voting though ‘Likes’.
Spokesperson Ian Fegan said: “The competition is a great way for budding photographs in Staffordshire to use their creativity to help promote 101, and be in the chance of winning a unique prize.
“We’re looking for innovative photographs where people create 101 in their photo using everyday objects, such as writing 101 with a bike wheel next to two posts.”
There are three prizes – one winner’s prize, a Jaguar 240 Police Car Model 1:18 scale, and two runners up prizes of a Jaguar MK2 3.8 and a Jaguar X16 Series 1 4.2, which were donated to the force.
The winning photographs will then be used to help promote the 101 number.
The introduction of 101 in November 2011 means communities have a way to contact their local police force to report non-emergency crime and disorder.
