Dear friends,
This year’s photography contest has come to an end!
We are delighted that the Grande Dame of rural life has been honoured with so many wonderful entries from different parts of Greece and abroad!
Thank you for your kind words! We hope you had a wonderful and… rewarding time!
The winner of this year’s contest is Mr. Karlos Sarantis.
His truly beautiful photograph, taken in Oxya, Zagori, received the most votes from the participants in our “Harvest Days!” on Saturday, October 30th 2026.
And here is his wonderful work:
We’re also excited to share a few more lovely photos we received during the course of the competition!
We received lots of great and encouraging feedback from many of you who joined in — thank you so much!
Of course, there were also a few complaints: for example, that “the hen won’t pose for a photo” or — and this one actually concerned us — that some of you couldn’t even find a hen! Is the humble backyard chicken becoming an endangered species?
A warm thank-you to everyone who contributed to the organization and success of this year’s competition — to those who spread the word, hosted our little poster in their shops, and, of course, to all who took part!
Wishing you all the best — and see you next year, in good health!
