After a lot of deliberation between the judges, we've finalised the results for the 2007 AditNow Photo Competition.

Photos were judged on both photographic and historical merit, their relevance to the what we've left behind subject matter, and taking into consideration the main focus (this year) on above ground photography. A couple of underground photographs have crept into the results, both were of such high quality that we all felt to not credit them would have been wrong.

Vanoord and I will be contact winners over the coming days to arrange prizes :thumbsup:

Finally, a big and grateful thank you to everybody who took the time to enter, without you all the competition would simply not have happened.

I hope everybody who took part enjoyed the competition, and we're looking forward to running the 2008 one already.
