A CULCHETH man has been named the winner of the Bents Garden & Home annual photography competition.

Graham Young was the unanimous winner after hundreds of votes were cast.

He was awarded a framed copy of his image and £50 worth of Bents gift vouchers, which he has donated to the Shoulder to Soldier charity.

Graham is a member of the Leigh-based initiative, which provides support, practical advice and financial relief for those who are serving or who have served in the armed forces.

This year’s competition attracted more than 100 entries, all depicting nature at its very best, from striking landscapes to beautiful wildlife shots. 

A shortlist of 15 images was chosen and displayed at Customer Services and on Bents’ Facebook page where customers were invited to vote for their favourite shot.

All 15 shortlisted images, and Graham’s winning shot are available to view at bents.co.uk
