The Falkirk Area Through The Eyes Of The Next Generation

The Falkirk area today, as throughout history, has been renowned for its historic towns and buildings, attractive environment, industrial heritage and its fiercely proud population.

The Falkirk Area Tourist Association, and the Town Centre Management Company are planning to print a glossy colour calendar to celebrate the Falkirk area at the time of the new Millennium with photographs taken by the youngsters of the area.

School children from all the towns and villages in the area were challenged to submit their photographic entries, the twelve best of which have been chosen to feature throughout the millennium year calander.

The organisers required 12 photographs to represent the uniqueness of the Falkirk area and there were four winning categories :

My Town or Village - showing shops, buildings, people or events.
   
History and Heritage - showing the interior or exterior of landmark castles, monuments or industrial buildings.
   
The Green Environment - showing wildlife, flowers, or trees around the area.
   
People at Leisure - showing shopping, sports or even walking the dog!

The pictures were judged by a panel of local profesional photographers in early June, with the 12 best photos selected being published in the Calendar which should be available by the end of the summer. It will sell for £3.99, and every copy sold through schools or PTA's will raise £1.50 for the school.
