Wildlife cameraman and presenter, Hamza Yassin, has unveiled the winners of The Camping and Caravanning Club’s latest photo competition.

Amateur photographers from across the UK shared photos for the themes of Most Incredible Campsite View, Most Incredible Family Time and Most Incredible Nature Encounter in the Club’s ‘Picture the Moment’ competition, throughout the summer.

Winners were presented with prizes at The Motorhome & Caravan Show at NEC Birmingham on Friday 18th October.

Hamza said: “I really loved the entries to the competition because the photos featured wildlife, camping and people spending quality time with their families. The photos kind of give you a little flavour of what our campsites have to offer, if not on the campsite then around the campsite.

“It was wonderful to see stunning landscapes and wildlife captured in the photos, including a photo of a red deer taken by Cayden, aged ten - if I’d taken a photo like that at his age I’d be over the moon.”

Hamza added: “Well done to all of our winning photographers. I hope you enjoy your prizes.”

Photos entered into the competition included scenes of shallow mist over Derwentwater in the Lake District National Park, a Eurasian Coot skimming on top of a lake and a puffin and a rabbit basking in the sun.   

Richard Walters, the Club’s Director of Marketing and Communications, said, "We're thrilled to highlight the winning photographs from our Picture the Moment competition at the Motorhome & Caravan & Caravan Show today. These images showcase the simple joys and peaceful moments that campers have captured in the incredible outdoors.''

Winners and runners-up walked away with prizes worth more than £5,000. Prizes included vouchers for Camping and Caravanning Club Sites, GO Outdoors, and Love2Visit, which can be used for days out and activities.
