WE asked you to get snapping to help us produce a calendar celebrating the beauty of the town we live in and you definitely did not disappoint.

We have been overwhelmed with entries for the first round of our Warrington Guardian Camera Club competition as we search for the picture that will start our 2018 calendar.

Our competition will run throughout this year as we look to find reader pictures suitable for each month.

Winners will be announced at the end of this year and invited to be part of our Camera Club where they can pick up tips from our picture editor Dave Gillespie.

For the month of January, this selection of frosty scenes, setting suns and wintry backdrops have been selected for our first vote.

If your picture has not made it into our shortlist for January, it may be that we feel it is more suitable for a different month of the year.

To vote, click through the gallery above and then select your favourite in the ballot below or email your vote to hannah.bargery@nqnw.co.uk before midnight on February 7.

THIS VOTE HAS NOW CLOSED. THANK YOU FOR VOTING

We will launch our search for our February photo in next week's paper so watch this space for more details.
