Photography Competition: Creating Spaces for Life
Thank you to everyone who entered our ‘Creating Spaces for Life’ photography competition. The Royal Parks span over 5,000 acres across London and we believe that the parks create spaces for life every single day. Whether that’s creating a space for wildlife to call home or creating a space for budding flowers to bloom. That’s why this spring, we asked members of the public to submit photographs showing the life that thrives within the Royal Parks.
We received so many incredible entries, all showcasing why we believe that the Royal Parks create spaces for life every single day.
From pelicans to cardinal beetles and from ancient trees to first blooms, we were blown away by the variety of life that so many talented photographers were able to capture across all of the Royal Parks.
It wasn’t easy to pick our winners from all the wonderful images we received, but we are so pleased to be sharing our winners for each category below. Congratulations to them!
