We had an amazing response to our photo competition earlier in the year, inspired by the Leaves of Southwell project to think about nature as we spent more time outside during lockdown. The standard was truly incredible – a huge thank you to all who entered!

It’s been an extremely difficult task to whittle down the hundreds of entries sent from all around the UK to just 4 winners but the competition panel are pleased to announce…

1st Place (and the winner of £100 Cathedral Shop voucher): Kerry Adams (Snowdrop taken in my garden, Beckingham)

2nd Place (and the winner of £50 Cathedral Shop voucher): Tony Walker (Swan reflection, Barrow on Soar)

3rd Place (and the winner of £25 Cathedral Shop voucher): Katie Clarke (Freeze, Nottingham Arboretum)

U14 winner (and the winner of £10 Cathedral Shop voucher): Ellie Hibberts (View over Potwell Dyke, Southwell)

 

Below are some of our other favourites

 

There’s clearly a talented bunch of young photographers out there too, the following were received in the U14 category and have each been sent a special prize:

 

We will producing a 2022 calendar of our top 12 images which will be available to purchase from The Cathedral Shop later in the year – so watch this space!
