Photography competition
A big thank you to everyone who entered the competition this year - the standard was very high across the 157 entries received and the judges spent a lot of time discussing the entries.
The overall winner is Julia Cameron with her image of St Stephen‘s Church entitled "Inside / outside reflections" (on the left), which won the Art and architecture category. Judges commented: "Simply a beautiful photograph. The light spills onto the arches, highlighting the detail in the stonework which is framed by the reflection of the trees. The tone and warmth of the autumn leaves is seductive against the architecture of the church. The photographer has created a piece of art."
The category winners are:
- History and tradition - Julia Cameron
- People and community - David Sherwood
- Inspiration and learning - Sheena McIntyre-Warnock
- Restoration and conservation - Julia Cameron
- Worship and contemplation - Julia Cameron
- Art and architecture - Julia Cameron
- Enjoyment and fun - no winner selected
- Innovation and change - Gary Rayner
Congratulations to all the winners and runners-up. A big thank you to Chapelfield for providing a shopping voucher as a prize to the overall winner.
