Thank you to everyone who entered our photo competition, 'Cache with a View'. We received dozens of valid entries.
The GAGB committee served as the judges, and used the published guidelines and criteria to pick the winners. Photos were kept anonymous, with the submitter not known by the judges until after the decisions were finalised.
The judges submitted initial scores and then donated a Sunday evening to an online debate to determine the winners from the shortlist.
Photos had to adhere to the theme, 'Cache with a View', and be taken at or near a geocache in the UK. The purpose of the competition was to find a new website header image/masthead. So, something that not only looked great but could fit the webpage and take our logo well.
Congratulations to all the winners.
