Behind again, really sorry for the delay on announcing last week’s weekly winner. For last week we saw lots of submissions come through Instagram with a wide variety of locations from around the city. We also had loads submitted through Twitter (using the same hashtag). To submit photos yourself via Instagram & Twitter for the Strong Island Photo of the Year Competition use the hashtag #SIPhotoComp2015 and you can always email photos in too to contact@strong-island.co.uk.

We’re happy to announce the sixth weekly winning photo is by photographer Grzegorz Kopacz.

Port Solent Marina by Grzegorz Kopacz (Submitted via Instagram).

This weekly winner will now be entered into the finals of the competition which will happen in December where everyone can vote for their favourite weekly winning photos. This image will now become our Strong Island Facebook header image for the next 7 days until next week’s winner.

Below are some of the runners up for this week. A huge thank you to everyone who submitted! Don’t worry if your photo didn’t win or make the shortlist, you can enter photos every week until the finals in December. You can now submit photos for this week’s weekly winner selection which will be chosen and shown next Monday (ish!). To enter simply email, Tweet or Instagram your photo that was taken in, on or around Portsmouth.
