Talking of prizes… we’re delighted to announce our first winners are parent and child team Sara and Oscar Jarman, for their photo of Bradwell Windmill, Milton Keynes (below).
This prize was awarded for the judges’ favourite image of a mill submitted over National Mills Weekend 2016.
We were delighted to award this prize to parent and child team Sara and Oscar. We were especially pleased to have coincidentally chosen Oscar’s 7th birthday to let Sara and Oscar know! Oscar is a real mill fan, with his mum Sara often taking him to visit mills. It’s wonderful to be able to support and reward Oscar as a young mill enthusiast, with the prize of a voucher to spend in our bookshop.
BUT WAIT – YOU COULD WIN A PRIZE TOO!
That’s right! The Great British Mill Race is running until National Mills Weekend 2017 and we are looking forward to receiving your entries this summer (lets hope we get some good mill visiting weather!).
In the autumn, we will be awarding prizes in the following categories:
- The best parent (or grandparent) & child team
- Most mill entries updated by one individual
- Most attractive mill picture
- Entry for a mill furthest from MAT
