Thank you to everyone who took part; we saw some fabulous photographs of what you think makes Beeston a great place to live, work, study, visit and be part of the thriving community. The judges had a tough job deciding which of the hundreds of photographs entered would win the competition, as there were so many that captured the essence of our fantastic town.
Lamar Francois, a professional photographer who sat on the judging panel for Let’s go to Beeston, said “It was a pleasure to be involved in this competition. I was impressed to see how well people engaged with the brief to discover something new about the local area of Beeston. There were so many great images entered that the judging panel found it hard to choose just four winners. After carefully considering the best entries, we decided that there should be five winning photographs, that show some fabulous aspects of Beeston.”
The competition prizes of £50 for each photograph were kindly provided by Kate Foale, local Councillor for Nottinghamshire County Council, from the Council’s community fund. The winning photographers are pictured here at Middle Street Resource Centre in Beeston, receiving their prize and winner’s certificate with Kate, Lynda Lally from Beeston Community Resource charity and Colin Failes from the Let’s go to Beeston volunteer team.

If you didn’t win this time, you could be in with a chance to win in a future Let’s go to Beeston competition; we’re considering creating a charity calendar that has images of Beeston throughout the year. Watch this space for more details…
