We are delighted to announce the winner of the competition we ran alongside recent relocator, schuh.

The guys at schuh were kind enough to donate a top prize for our competition of ‘free shoes for a year’ to the best festive Guernsey image on instagram with #mylocatechristmas. That’s a £75 worth of shoes for every month of the year!

Unsurprisingly we had loads of entries! Once we crossed the 450 mark the kind marketing team at schuh also gave us 2nd and 3rd prizes of £75 and £50 vouchers respectively.

Without further ado here are the winning images, shortlisted by local photographer Chris George and chosen by the schuh team:

Winner: Stu_pot

A unanimous winner for the schuh team. A lovely perspective on the Christmas lights outside town church looking up at a cold winter sky. It filled the judges with festive feeling and is a worthy winner.

Let’s not forget about our runners up:

2nd place: erinogier

An artistic choice for runner-up which again focuses on festive lights. Erin has managed to find beauty even in winter puddles.

3rd place: dogier

A celebration of more traditional aspects of Christmas now. Taken on Christmas eve we have a family scene complete with tree and even footwear from the sponsors!

Very well done to all of our winners and thanks to all who entered. schuh have been delighted with the welcome they have received in Guernsey.

Keep an eye out for our next competition!
