Property specialist Leaders is running a film competition that offers a top prize of £1,000 plus three sums totalling £2,000 to be donated to three charities.
The Love Living in competition will “shine a spotlight on what it is that makes the place people call home special”.
Leaders’ marketing manager, Alison Guyton, said:
“Love Living in is open to everyone across the UK. We are asking people to create a short film, no more than 3 minutes long, that demonstrates what you love about where you live. Entrants have the chance to win a selection of prizes of up to £1,000 plus £1,000 for a local cause or community group of their choice”.
The company defines ‘community group’ as including schools, colleges, universities, sports and recreation clubs, charities and voluntary groups.

The competition closes on 31 May 2015.
