Photo competition results 2022

Our competition took a break in 2023.

In 2022 we challenged amateur photographers to capture Bracknell Forest’s mood-boosting places.

The theme reflected the abundance of amazing local places, which make Bracknell Forest a special place in which to live, work and play.

The top 5 winning images from the 2022 photo competition can be seen below.
