All this week we are running mini photo competitions on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. This photo of a stag on Exmoor, submitted by Ian Brown, had the most likes on all our social media channels. Ian won an Exmoor4all calendar.
Today’s theme is “People on Exmoor” – we are looking forward to all the competition entries!
Congratulations to the winners of our 2015 Photo Competition!
We had well over 1000 entries between January and August 2015. Each month, the public chose their favourite images on Facebook, and the top ten made it through to the final. In September, we asked our judges to pick their top 20 photos. Once again, we counted ‘likes’. The top 13 photos are now on our calendar which is ready to be ordered.
A huge thank you to Peter French who masterminded the photo competition and designed the calendar. He will also send out the calendars once we’ve got them back from the printers.
I would also like to thank our judges: John Turner (CEO, Visit Somerset), Giles Adams (What’s On Somerset), Cllr Andrea Davies (Chairman, Exmoor National Park), Nigel Hester (NT Holnicote Estate), Martin Hesp (Editor-at-large, Western Morning News), Annelise Yard (West Somerset Free Press), Andy Cooper (Group Editor, Archant, Devon Life), Charlotte Skidmore (Editor, Somerset Life).
The 2016 Exmoor4all Photo Calendar is ready to order:
The calendar will be sent out at the beginning of November 2015 at the very latest.
If you want to send the calendar abroad, please contact us.
You will also be able to buy calendars from the Exmoor Producers’ shop in Minehead (Friday Street) and Lynton TIC from November.

Here are the winners of the Exmoor4all photo competition in March, chosen by our fans on Facebook. First prize went to Liz Mitchell for her gorgeous Exmoor foal – she receives an Exmoor Club Card as well as a canvas donated by Churchgate Gallery Porlock. The canvas will be on display in the Minehead gallery for one month.
Each month we ask our fans to post three photos in our Facebook group. At the end of the months, all photos are uploaded to an album on our Facebook page where everybody can like their favourite images. The ten images with the most likes at the end of the month go through to the final, with a chance of featuring on our Exmoor4all 2016 calendar.
