Photo of The Week Competition 20th December 2024
The winning image for the weather and landscape photo of the week competition on the 20th December 2024, plus the best of the rest.
This was a particularly enjoyable competition...who doesn't like some snowy photos!? As subjective as always we went with Sonja's mesmerizing image while snowshoeing in Austria.
Sonja's snowy image has earned her a 3-month StormHour membership, which also includes a members spotlight page and adding to our BSky winner's Starter Pack (as are 2nd and 3rd placed Mike and Robert)
The competition returns in the New Year on Monday 6th January.
The Winner!
