Between 17 July 2019 - 31 January 2020, we received over 600 entries to Thames Lens, responding to the theme Thames Discovered. After hours of deliberating from our judging panel made up of representatives from the Thames Festival Trust, Port of London Authority and photographer Hannah Smiles, we are happy to announce that this year's winning entries.
Thames Lens is a really exciting competition, giving us opportunity to see the river through others’ eyes. And what a river we see: a working river, a river of art, of imagination and discovery. It’s truly a pleasure to join the competition judging panel and the winning images that have emerged are exceptional.Alistair Gale, Director of Corporate Affairs, Port of London Authority
