A Bromyard resident has been shortlisted for a UK-wide photography award.
Katy Hall captured a photo of her daughter, Lilah, aged 7, in their garden with a clematis plant, which has now been recognised in Caremark's 'What is Care?' competition.
The competition, launched to mark Caremark's 20th anniversary, called on the public to capture what care means to them in everyday life.
Out of hundreds of entries, Katy's photograph was selected to represent the West Midlands.
Katy said: "The photo shows Lilah in our garden with what she calls her 'birthday flowers'—the clematis.
"The flowers are out every year on her birthday. Every evening, she goes out to water and care for them.
"The world moves so fast, but through a child’s eyes, you’re reminded to slow down and appreciate the little things."
The photograph is now part of a nationwide public vote on social media to determine the overall winner of the competition.
The photographer of the winning entry will receive a £1,000 luxury getaway.
Voting is open to the public via Caremark’s Facebook page and will close at 9am on September 29, 2025.
The entry with the highest number of public votes will be announced as the winner shortly after voting closes.
Emma Scholes, Caremark’s director of marketing, said: "We felt that Katy’s photograph stood out as a powerful reflection of what care can mean.
"It’s about shining a light on what care looks like in everyday life, from small gestures to life-changing support, and how differently people experience and express it."
