All votes for the 2023 Pro Loco Photography Competition have now been counted and winners notified. The competition attracted just over 200 entries showing various views and artefacts of our lovely village. Our shortlisting committee had the hard task of shortlisting to 80. An extremely difficult task for them. Over the weekend of 28th and 29th October, members of the public were invited to vote for their favourites to determine the winners. It was lovely to see so many entrants as well who came down to vote. In all we received just under 600 votes and we were pleased to see that each and every one photograph received votes. This is a testament to the standard this year. The winners were identified and you can see them on the slide show below. Please allow a couple of minutes for the slideshow to load. We have also indicated which prize they have won.

Our 2024 competition will open in around February and we very much hope to see some further fantastic photographs of Matlock Bath.

We would like to thank all of our sponsors – without which we would not be able to offer so many prizes. In particular, we would like to thank the Heights of Abraham who have supported this competition for many years now. Their generosity is very much appreciated.

Thanks also go to Derbyshire Dales District Council, Masson Mills, Riverside Kiosk, Holy Trinity Church, The Grand Pavilion Group, the Hall Family and Gullivers who have contributed through sponsoring prizes for this event. We are truly grateful for your generosity and support.
