There was an interesting range of topics covered, from dreamy landscapes, action sport, birdlife and street style. Brian Coleman gave fair and constructive comments, praising the standard of entries which made his life difficult to pick the final winners. Many thanks to him for an entertaining evening.

Well done to all the winning authors and thanks to everyone who took the time to enter.
