You can win a personalised video message from LFC and EFC players courtesy of this new Merseyside Police campaign

Merseyside Police has teamed up with Everton and Liverpool football clubs to launch a competition celebrating Merseyside as part of its Christmas campaign.

The force is running a photo competition to celebrate the county and is inviting people to send in photos of their favourite places or people in Merseyside to their Instagram page using #iheartMerseyside.

Two lucky people will be randomly chosen to each win a personalised video message – one from LFC and the other from EFC.

To be in with a chance of winning visit Merseyside Police’s Instagram page – @merseysidepolice and find the competition post.

The competition closes at 11:59pm on Thursday, December 17th with the winners being announced the following day.

Superintendent Steve Brizell, who is leading the force’s Christmas campaign Operation Shepherd, said:

“This year has been incredibly hard and we wanted to give people a boost as 2020 comes to a close.

“We are blessed in Merseyside with our diverse culture, incredible sporting teams, amazing people and fascinating places.

“This competition is a way to convey our appreciation for Merseyside and those who live, work and visit here and we are grateful to EFC and LFC for joining us in celebrating our county.”
