We met up with Steven to find out a bit more about the competition.

So what are the rules for entering the competition? “The competition is open to all full time professional photographers. The images had to be taken in 2016.”

How was the judging carried out? “First of all the finalists were chosen online. Then we were invited to the event at Galgorm Resort & Spa where 3 leading photographers judged each section. Every entry was judged not only on how well the scene had been captured but also on paper quality it was printed on, etc.”

Where can your landscape prints be bought locally? “I have a good selection available for sale in Middletown Coffee in Ballymena, Winnies in Broughshane and also The Bothy Coffee & Gift Shop at White Park Bay. You can also buy online from my website.”
