This was our winning autumn photo. Could you be our winter winner? We’ve opened our latest seasonal photo competition – the winter 2024/5  Seasons of Ealing is here.

As well as seeing the winning entry in the magazine, the winner will also receive 4 tickets to Ealing Picturehouse cinema, which is sponsoring the competition.

Entries to the latest Seasons of Ealing can be sent in from today. You know the rules by now. The idea is for you to enter your favourite wintry snaps. It could be in your local park, back garden or even in your street. It could be a landscape, a skyline, wildlife, a family day out – get creative. The key is that it has to have been taken in the borough – and, it must have been taken by you.

And the winners were…

After receiving more than 100 entries, our panel had the task of trimming them down into a shortlist of 10 photos. It was not an easy task. These were then put to a public vote to choose the winner, during November.

The winner was Inna Ryskal, of Ealing, and her picture of a misty day at Ealing Common (pictured above).

As well as the photo appearing here and in Around Ealing magazine, they will receive the top prize of 4 tickets to watch a film at the new Ealing Picturehouse cinema.

In second place was Hanwell resident Nicola Goddard, with a photo of mushrooms in Perivale Wood.

And in third place was Eszter Bán, of Acton, with a photo of her friend and one of the local cats.

Well done to everyone who was shortlisted and thank you so much to everyone who took part.
