Abbey Fields Photography Competition
Calendar 2023
The Winners
From David Jenkins on behalf of the judging panel:
Thank you for helping select the photograph that will appear on the front cover of the calendar - the one for May taken by Ben Wicks. Many Congratulations Ben!
We are now very pleased to announce the names of the photographers who took the 13 winning photographs - congratulations to all! See below.
The calendar will be available for purchase for £10 at an event on The Green in Histon on Friday 25th November 2022 from 2-4pm and after this date from Topiary Tree, other High Street outlets and online. Follow this link for more information on that event.
Please remember that all profits will go to the Histon & Impington Green Spaces charity to aid in the purchase and maintenance of Abbey Fields.
Here is a link to the poster for the event on the village green.
A very big thank you to all who entered, there were many excellent photographs. In the coming weeks we will also be featuring some of these on the website that didn’t make it to the winners list.
Also, a big thank you to our two sponsors who have very generously helped towards the cost of producing the calendar.
