Clean British Energy photo competition - the winners

31 August 2012

We wanted you to show how inspired you are by renewable energy, so we ran a photo competition with Good Energy and Ecotricity. We had a great response.

Congratulations to joint first place winners Chris Flavin from Felixstowe, Suffolk and Wayne Beesley from Burscough, Lancashire.

They've won a year's free electricity from one of our two recommended suppliers.

Chris' photo of a houseboat at Felixstowe Ferry, powered by solar panels and a wind turbine, shows individuals can take renewable energy into their own hands.

Wayne's photo of Liverpool Bay wind farm at sunset, with waves in the foreground, captures forward thinking by a city with a rich industrial heritage.

A huge well done also to our six Highly Commended applicants Margaret Squires, Charles Garnett, Micky Thompson, Keith jones, Des Ong, and Christopher Rogers.

They've won £35 vouchers to spend in Friends of the Earth's shop.

There were some fantastic photos - people have really thought about their entries and why they find renewable energy so inspiring.

Many of the entries will be exhibited next month at Friends of the Earth's Conference, and at the Party Conferences. For your chance to see them in person, contact your local group to find out if they're being exhibited locally.
