In 2008, to help us celebrate some of the unique architecture, culture and heritage that Edinburgh has to offer, we invited people to take part in our photography competition. We asked the public to send in a photograph which captures their favourite view of, or in, Edinburgh. 

A huge thank you to everyone who took the time to submit their entry - we have been overwhelmed by the number of you who did so and the quality of the pictures submitted.

We are delighted to announce that the following pictures have been selected as the winners of the competition. 

Overall winner

A selection of the entries, including the winning entries, was on display at Stills between Saturday 18th  and Friday 24th October 2008.

We would like to thank artist David Cameron, Stills and Beyond Words Bookshop for their support - without which the competition would not have been possible. 

Following on from the success of the photography competition, we are now looking to find out what your favourite place or building is in the City. To find out more, please CLICK HERE.
