2007 Competition Results
Alwyn Ogborn, our competition organiser, writes:
As usual, a stunning collection of images has been submitted for this year's competition.
It has become the norm for judging to be a series of difficult decisions and I am grateful to Vincent Brown and Tony Miller of the Oldham Evening Chronicle for their expert opinions in choosing winners.
The winning entries are displayed here and the overall winner is the subject of our Winter edition cover.
If you didn't win anything, do not despair. Subject to the sales success of our 2008 calendar, (press all your friends and relations to buy one), we shall be selecting pictures for a 2009 version. Your talents may manifest themselves here. I stress, a 2009 calendar is dependent on the viability of the 2008 issue.
One aspect though, causes me great disappointment. Sadly we had NO entries for the junior sections, not a one. This is the first time this has happened, we will have to examine ways to galvanise this age group to the scenic beauty of our waterways.
Congratulations to all our winners, the overall winner receiving the top prize of £50. A big thank you to everyone for taking the time to send in your entries. Much appreciated.
