Phew - after much to'ing and fro'ing we have chosen the winners in our #StIvesSnaps competition, hurray!! We have to give massive thanks to our judges, Gavan from The Day That and St Ives artist, Sean Taylor for their feedback and creative opinions, it was great to have brilliant, creative input. Drum Roll for our winner............ Our first place winner is Claire Garrett. One of the judges comments was "A brilliant photograph taken of a very classic St Ives view but from a slightly different viewpoint, from the sea I love the way she has thrown the focus." We all loved this shot and felt like it really captured the essence of St Ives, well done Claire. Our second place photograph was by George Blower, and this was a really tough choice, very nearly our first place. The judges praised it's "Great composition and atmosphere" but in the end it was felt that Claire's image captured the essence of St Ives.

  And finally in third place.. We loved the colour and the fun in this shot by Amy Moore. So there you have it, our three fantastic winners. We've loved this competition and seeing all your shots of the beautiful town, so thanks all so much for entering. We love St Ives!!
