I am very pleased to be able to announce the 2017 award winners for Wiki
Loves Monuments in the UK.
First place goes to Matthew Hoser for his image of the derelict West
Pier in Brighton.
In second place was Paul Stümke, who captured the Glenfinnan Viaduct at
Loch Shiel.
Third was Oliver Tookey for the De La Warr Pavilion in Bexhill on Sea.
The special prize for the best image taken in Scotland was awarded to
Keith Proven for Smailholm Tower.
The special prize for the best image taken in Wales went to Sterim64 for
Craig-y-mor.
You can see all of these images, and the other stunning pictures that
were awarded Highly Commended status, at Wikimedia Commons:

Many congratulations to our prizewinners, and thanks to all who
volunteered to help make the contest a success: contestants, judges,
reviewers and Wikimedians in many roles. Thanks also for the kind
support we received from the International team, from our friendly staff
at Wikimedia UK, and from our 2017 prize sponsors, Wikimedia UK and
Archaeology Scotland.
