My thanks also to everyone who entered, as without your support we would not be able to offer the big cash prizes, and don't be discouraged if you didn't win this time. We had an exceedingly high standard of entries.
And many thanks to the Judges, Simon and Maggie – you have worked very hard and with cheerful diligence.
