Watermead Photo Competition 2022
WATERMEAD PHOTOGRAPHIC COMPETITION 2022
JUDGES REPORT
This was the fifth year in which we have run this competition. Unfortunately, the number of entries has fallen from a high of over 100 to just over 40 this year. However the quality remains high and I would stress as usual that in judging there is inevitably an element of personal preference although I was not given the names of entrants before reaching a decision.
BEAUTIFUL WATERMEAD.
The winner in this category was Damon Mitchell. His shot of a swan with a background of the Piazza and a dramatic sky sums up the beauty of our village. For this reason, Damon is also our overall winner of the bottle of champagne. Runners up were Cleo Conway-Bence for her striking evening shot of the Watermead Inn Bandstand with reflections in the flooded lake and Matt Presdee for his photo of a Gosling.
OPEN CATEGORY
The Winner In this category is Adele Crawley for her nicely captured shot of two dogs. Runners up were Damon Mitchell for his capture of the Red Arrows and Cleo Conway-Bence for her beautifully lit rural shot at sunset.
PEOPLE AND EVENTS
Unfortunately, there were only 2 entries in this category and I have decided not to award a prize.
OVERALL WINNER
Damon Mitchell
Thanks to everyone who entered this year's competition

Watermead Neighbourhood Plan
Watermead Parish Council is working with residents and stakeholders on developing a Neighbourhood Plan for Watermead. You may well have read about it in Village View or on social media.
Watermead is already a fantastic place to live, and we want to make sure that we continue to maintain it, and where possible improve it, in the ways that most benefit the people who live and work here, both now and in future. Once the current restrictions on movement are eased we hope to have open events in the Village Hall or Hall garden, but in the meantime we will be asking for your feedback through a series of short questionnaires.
