We entered the competition with a few of our Cornish photos so fingers crossed!
Here are the two pictures we submitted:

For the snow category, we submitted this picture of Kennel Vale Woods in Ponsanooth, Cornwall on a rare winter day.

For the sunshine category, we submitted this picture from Gwythian beach in Cornwall taken this summer.
