Thanks everyone who attended the Challenge this year. It was great to see everyone and it was a most enjoyable weekend. I am already looking forward to Edinburgh next year.

Here are this year's entries.

As in previous years, please vote for your top three images. (It goes without saying that one should not vote for one's own entry, and while this is an anonymous competition, inadvertently voting for a family member, if they also entered, is acceptable of course). Please note that there are 14 entries this year. Anyone voting for fewer than three photographs will not have their votes counted.

For your FIRST choice, 3 points will be awarded, for the SECOND choice, 2 points, and for your THIRD choice, 1 point.

For the avoidance of doubt, please make it absolutely clear when voting. For example-

3 points - Shot 76

2 points - Shot 34

1 point - Shot 98

The shot with the most points at the close of the voting will be declared the winner. Should there be a tie, the number of "3 point" votes will be counted and the one with the most, will win. Still a tie? The number of "2 point" votes, and so on.

The winning photographer will receive the huge amount of kudos that winning the Challenge always brings, plus the right to choose the charity to whom the prize fund of €150 will be donated. (One contributor to the entry fee is not submitting a shot for judging)

Voting will close at 22:00 (UTC) on 16th November 2025, and the winner will be announced shortly afterwards.

Please record your votes in this thread.

Thank you and good luck to everyone that entered!
