Joint winners Richard Brunton and Hollie Underwood will be offered a one-on-one session with a professional photographer. Their photos will be part of a digital exhibition with other entries, displayed around the town as part of a week of events organized by the group.

"It's great to see that entries have captured contemporary and historic scenes of Fakenham. The beauty of photography is it makes you look beyond the obvious."
