“I was really impressed by the breadth of quality and creativity through all of the age groups, but what caught my attention the most was the love for the area that I felt at the awards night.
The people who entered the competition are proud of where they live and its rich history.
It was more than just a photo competition, it was for people from all walks of life to come together and share their creative visions of the area.”
Philip Haynes - Award winning professional photographer & one of our 6 judges
