Love Poundbury Through Your Lens: The Winners Are Coming

Next week, we'll be announcing the winners of our first-ever Love Poundbury Through Your Lens photography competition. After careful judging and deliberation, our three expert judges have selected the best photographs from 140 entries across all five categories, and we can't wait to share them with you.

The Exhibition Opens Monday, 8 June

The exhibition of the 15 best photographs will open at the Duchess of Cornwall Inn on Monday evening and run through 21 June. It's a celebration of Poundbury through so many different eyes — architecture, landscapes, community life, creative perspectives, and the work of our young photographers. The quality is genuinely stunning, and we're excited for the community to see what our photographers have captured.

Your Vote Counts — And You Could Win

Here's the fun part: during the exhibition, visitors can vote for their favourite photograph. Simply pick up a voting slip at the Duchess, choose the image that speaks to you most, and drop your slip in the voting box. So simple and easy.

And here's the prize: one voter will be randomly drawn from all the voting slips to win a beautiful Poundbury Good Things gift basket plus a gift voucher for the Duchess of Cornwall Inn — a prize package worth a total of £100.

The more times you visit during the exhibition period, the more chances you have to vote and to be drawn as the lucky winner!

Please Visit the Exhibition

Come see the photographs, cast your vote, and support local photographers. The 15 exhibition images are also available for sale at a minimum of £50 each, with all proceeds supporting the Lexi May Trust www.leximaytrust.co.uk  the Duchess of Cornwall Inn's chosen charity.
