Hundreds of Eltham people took part in a competition to design a postcard celebrating the area.

A Postcard from Eltham saw 300 people displaying their creative talents in a contest which culminated in an awards ceremony at the Eltham Centre.

And two rigorous rounds of judging saw Emily Tyrrell and Himani Weir take top prizes in the adult competition, while Cameron Wren and Annie Gadd were names best in the seven to 11 age group.

For the under sevens, Seth Jayawardhena came out on top for a postcard of the magnificent Severndroog Castle.

The competition was run by Eltham Arts, an organisation trying to bring the community together through the arts.

Chairman Gaynor Wingham said: "The entries were really diverse celebrating Eltham today but showing a love of our fantastic Eltham heritage. 

"With well over 300 entries the judges had quite a task and this is reflected in how many awards were given. Eltham now has some great postcards. We would like to thank everyone who has been involved in making this competition and community event such a success."
