Congratulations to Diana Lee, who has been voted the winner of our 2025 picture competition by Reflections readers.
Diana’s stunning image of hot air balloons taking flight in the early morning at Chatsworth clinched first place in our contest, themed around Derbyshire’s Events & Attractions.
Diana, from Drakelow, wins a meal for two at a top local restaurant and the chance to have a selection of her photographs published in a forthcoming edition of Reflections.
Derbyshire through the seasons
Our new picture competition for 2026 is already well underway.
Dedicated amateur photographers have been quick to capture early winter scenes for this year’s contest – Derbyshire Through the Seasons.
Russ Teale, from Newbold, shares this atmospheric shot which he describes as a ‘murky morning at Sheepbridge Ponds.’
Meanwhile, Brenda Newsam of Winster was perfectly placed to take this beautifully timeless image of Castleton at dusk.
The pictures you send in must be taken in 2026 and must be in Derbyshire. You can enter as many times as you like. Entries must be from amateur photographers and drone images or software-altered pictures will not be accepted.
Please email your entries to editor@bannisterpublications.co.uk, giving your full name and address, a contact telephone number and a description (including the date it was taken) of the image, which should be attached as a high res jpeg.
