The adult photographic winner was Garry Hannaford of Callington for a picture of Denham Bridge. The adult art winner was John Forster of Saltash with a pastel drawing of the Royal Albert Bridge at Saltash.
In the 12-18 year-old section, photographic winner was Alexis Over of Plymouth with a picture of Cotehele Bridge ? the art winner was Jodie Saunders of Plymouth with a picture of Calstock Viaduct.
In the five to eleven-year-old section, Jordan Filder of Plymstock won the photo competition with a picture of Calstock Viaduct. The art competition winner was eight-year-old William Thomas of Calstock with a picture of the Royal Albert Bridge.
