“Moments in Time” Land/Cityscapes Photographic Competition

Schoolchildren in Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire were challenged to photograph a view of their town, city or the countryside to record what our area looked like in 2009. This will allow future generations to see how we lived and worked today.

The winners of the competition were decided by a panel of judges comprising Adam Henson from BBC's Countryfile, experienced landscape photographer Oskar Puschmann from the Norwegian Forest and Landscape Institute, Richard Aspinall from the Macaulay Land Use Research Institute and Rick Rhode from the University of Edinburgh.

A 2010 calendar featuring the six winning photographs, plus six others rated as ‘highly commended’ is available.
