London is a unique and vibrant city – a melting pot of different cultures and brimming with creativity in every corner.
As London’s authentic gin since the 1860’s, Beefeater Gin is celebrated the capital’s exhilarating spirit by calling on Londoners to share in the creation of its new limited edition bottle
Simply by sending in a photo of what London means to them, their image could have been one of 1000 featured on the new limited edition bottle and they could also win some special prizes too, including a top-of-the-range SLR camera and Beefeater Gin goodies.
Using the hashtag #MyLondon, entrants sent their pics into the competition on twitter and the images were also uploaded to beefeaterginmylondon.com, all depicting exactly what the capital city means to them.
From buzzing neighbourhood market stalls to favourite iconic buildings; from a quiet green space to a stunning city-scape; from the graffiti around Old Street to classic London pubs - the entrants were given free reign over what to photograph.
As part of the creative #MyLondon campaign, Beefeater Gin is supporting up-and-coming talent at Central Saint Martins with the creation of an exciting photography project for the BA (Hons) Graphic Design Course.
The 20 best entries were judged by a Beefeater Gin panel, and received a limited-edition photographic print, along with a range of Beefeater Gin prizes, and the overall winner also received a top-of-the range SLR.
Check out the winning photograph and runners-up pictures below.
