Our judges met for the third time to choose the winning entries for the Winter section of the calendar on Sunday 16th March 2025.
The Winter section proved to be the toughest so far but after much deliberation the judges made their decision. As there were no entries in the U16 category the judges had to choose two images from the adult category and we're pleased to announce that Winter Robin and Frosty Morning, both by Chris Warrender, came out on top, so congratulations to Chris. The winning image from the U10 category was Hello Petal by Iris Weaver, well done Iris!! All entries for the Winter section can be viewed here.
Finally, we are now accepting entries for the Spring section of the calendar and watch out for a special announcement coming soon.
Entries for the Autumn section of the calendar faced the scrutiny of our judges on Sunday 15th December and after some lengthy discussion and much deliberation, the three winners were announced. Our congratulations go to Michael Poole in the adult category with his winning image Green Woodpecker, Elaya Kiernan in the under 16 category with her winning image Tree Tunnel and Jasmine Holmes who scooped the top prize with her image Millie Mallard Pondering by the Pool in the under 10 category. All of the entries can be seen here, and will be on display at the visitor's centre from Thursday 19 December.
We are pleased to anounce that Susie Comaish conducted the draw for the raffle at the conclusion of the pet shoot and details of the winning tickets are as follows:

Following on from the poular pet photography shoot in August we are pleased to anounce that we will be holding another pet photography shoot on Sunday 17th November 2024 between 11 AM and 3 PM. This time we'll be adding a Christmas theme to proceedings, so if you missed out the first time around or wish to see you pet photographed again in different surroundings then feel free to pop along. We will also be holding a raffle where you stand a chance to win 1 of 3 personal pet photography experiences with one of our photographers at the country park. The whole team look forward to seeing you there.
The serious work started on Sunday (8th sept.) as the images for the summer section of the calendar faced the scrutiny of our judges and after some lengthy discussion, and much deliberation, the three winners were announced. Our congratulations got to David Rowley (Meadow Hide Bunny) and Paul Logan (Honey Bee) who prevailed in the adult category and to Tilley George who scooped the top prize for Robin on a Post in the under 10 category. The three winning images can be seen here, along with all of the other entries, and will be on display at the visitor's centre from Wednesday 11th September.
Entries can now be submitted for the autumn section of the calendar competition. Your images must be taken in the park between 1st September 2024 and 30th November 2024.
A group of photographers from the Bridgnorth Camera Club hosted a pet photography shoot on 18th August 2024 to help raise funds for the calendar competition, and it proved to be a successful and enjoyable day for all involved. To date the money raised as a result of image sales has reached nearly £200. Our thanks go to the staff and management of the park for allowing us to use the facilities on the day, and to the many dog owners that took part and who have subsequently made donations to obtain images of their pets.
