Lord Montagu has selected Oliver Crockett’s shot of a cheeky Beaulieu River resident as the winner of the 2024 photography competition.
Oliver’s photo was chosen by Lord Montagu to take the top spot and claim a £200 prize. His winning photo will also feature in the 2025 Beaulieu River Tide Times & Information booklet.
Oliver also entered additional entries in the latest competition, one which was placed as one of the runner-up entries alongside Jane Willoughby’s atmospheric sky, and Robert Abbott’s swan family in the mist.
The annual competition is open to all amateur photographers who are inspired to capture the unique quality of one of the few privately owned tidal rivers in Britain. It is open to locals as well as visitors to the picturesque harbourside village of Buckler’s Hard.
The 2025 Beaulieu River photo competition is now open and entries can be sent, with full contact details, to photo@beaulieu.co.uk. This year, we are theming the competition and asking entrants to choose from:
. Wildlife on the river
. The ever-changing beauty of the Beaulieu River
