PRIZES are to be presented to the winners of Darwen Civic Society's annual photographic competition tonight by the Deputy Mayor of Blackburn with Darwen, Coun David Foster.

Organisers of the competition said the entries this year were of a very high standard and the judges had a difficult task to select the winners.
