Tales from the Riverbank Photography Competition
In 2021, we asked Hampshire residents to capture the magic of the Test and Itchen headwaters on camera. The Tales from the Riverbank Photography Competition - part of the Watercress and Winterbournes Landscape Partnership Scheme - offered Heritage, Landscape, People, Wildlife, Young Photographer (under 18) and Community Choice (decided by public vote) prizes.
We were honoured to welcome expert nature photographers Jack Perks and Dick Hawkes as guest judges. We were also delighted to have Megan McCubbin, herself a celebrated young nature photographer, as the judge of our under-18s category. Enormous thanks to all three for sharing their time and insights with us.
The entries we received were talented, creative, and full of love for our chalk streams. You can see the winning photographs below or view them, along with other fantastic entries, on display across our scheme area in the coming months. If you're in this area and would like to host an exhibition, please get in touch.
