The results of the votes for the winners and the shortlisted entries to the Sherington Historical Society Photographic Competitions 2019 are listed below. Our judge for the shortlists was David McKay who chose his favourite ten of the submitted photos in the Wild Sherington and the Sherington: Sights and Seasons competitions. We then asked the public to vote for their favourite photos in each competition. We received 58 votes for each competition, although not everyone voted in both competitions. The online voting was very disappointing with only 5 people voting by email, none through Facebook. The other votes came from paper voting at the Sherington Historical Society February meeting and the display in St Laud’s.
Please note that we will not be running the Photographic Competitions in 2019 but we would still like to see your photos and put them onto the website.
