Each year, our Parker Scanlon Water Bottle photo competition is a chance to enjoy some friendly competition and 2025 certainly didn’t disappoint.

This year’s entries impressed us with their creativity, storytelling, and originality, making the judging process, exciting, challenging and a laugh!

From stunning coastal scenes to clever, light‑hearted concepts, the range and quality of submissions showcased the talent within our Team.

We are excited to share the winners of our 2025 Photo Competition.

 First Place: Karen -“Catalina Waves”

This well-crafted image immediately stood out to everyone in the Team, making it a clear winner! With excellent timing and composition, Catalina Waves captures the energy and movement of the water while maintaining a sense of calm and balance.

Second Place: Logan -“Hostage Situation”

Securing second place is Logan with his clever and light‑hearted entry, “Hostage Situation.”

This photograph brought humour and his personality to the competition, proving that creativity and storytelling doesn't always have to be serious to make an impact. The concept is playful, engaging, and the image is instantly memorable.

Third Place: Dylan - “Precious”

Rounding out the winners is Dylan with his thoughtfully composed photograph in the field, “Precious.”

This image stood out for its strong concept and attention to detail. Dylans photograph demonstrates how everyday elements can be transformed into something visually compelling. Dylan’s work shows a clear creative vision and a strong understanding of visual storytelling.

Congratulations to Karen, Logan, and Dylan and to all our Staff who submitted their own photo, thank you for sharing your perspectives with us. We look forward to seeing and sharing what you capture next year.
