EEA Photo Competition 2023 – Results
Firstly, a big thank you to all of our members that took the time to submit an entry into the 2023 photo competition. We received 46 amazing images and the voting results were quite close between those that came out on top but there was a favourite.
Secondly, we also want to thank the members that took the time to review the images and submit their votes. Without this level of participation we would not have a successful result to share with you.
Finally, we are planning to hold this competition again in 2024 so next time you are out and about, get snapping as you may just capture the next winning image.
On this page you can view galleries of photo competition entries and winners since 2020.
