Dacorum residents were encouraged to put their borough "on the map" by getting involved in a competition last month.

More than seventy locals entered Dacorum Borough Council’s postcard competition, which aimed to get residents telling people about the area.

The council asked people to send them photographs of their postcards in interesting and unique places, anywhere in the UK or abroad.

They received entries where the postcards had travelled as far as Australia, New Zealand and Hollywood.

Overall, 19 people won prizes. The top entry was from Yvonne Richards, who took her postcard to Dalyan Mud Bath, in Turkey.
