1st Prize: Hajany Stone Row by Vladimir Nedved (Ladrin)

PAB comment. A Modern feature in the Czech Republic. It was erected in 2008, but contains a fine selection of granite monoliths from the locality. This attracted the highest number of votes for this 3-month phase.




2nd Prize: Ffyst Samson by Simon Judge (spjudge62)

PAB comment: This lovely sunrise image of the delightful Ffyst Samson Chambered Tomb was submitted by Portal contributor spjudge, who has also put some very useful access suggestions on the site page. Thanks spjudge, not only for the image, but for helping to keep access as easy as the gorse allows!




3rd Prize: Neu Gaarz Dolmen by Martin L

PAB comments: Lovely image of this very impressive burial chamber near the Baltic Sea in Germany. Visit our page for this site to see the wide range of views and images.




Highly Commended: D21 Bronneger by Jos 'ShamrockStone'

Very striking and pleasing image both in terms of content, colour and framing.




Highly Commended: Le Pont du Gard by Robin Potticary (Humbucker)

A magnificent structure - we do now cover Roman sites and we would very much like more photos and site submissions from this period.




Highly Commended: Nine Standards by DrOlaf

Located on the Cumbria / Yorkshire border, some of these cairns are almost 10 ft high.




Thanks as always to everyone who voted and entered and especially thanks to Peter Boyle (PAB) for organising the competitions.

How to Enter

All the images submitted to the Megalithic Portal have a chance to win by being voted on by you, the Megalithic Portal visitors and contributors. See below for more details.

There is still time to vote in the next photo competition. You can browse and choose photos to vote for in our Photo Gallery.

We will be announcing the results of the next competitions soon.

Please do vote and comment on any photos that particularly catch your eye. You can score photos for visual or archaeological merit or for any other reason you like.
