Megan Heale has topped the people's and judges' choice to win first prize in our 'Show Us Your Rural Summer' photographic competition.

Fighting off stiff competition in a high quality field of entries, Megan's photograph 'Taking a Stroll' (main image) wins first prize overall.

Second place went to Louise Lahmert and third place to Kevin Shakespeare.

Congratulations to all three winners. They will each receive a high-quality Weber Q Range BBQ, the biggest and flashest model obviously going to our first place getter, Megan Heale.

Thanks to Mitre 10 for supporting this competition and supplying the barbecues and thanks to all the readers who took time to share their summer photographs with us. Separating a winner from such a strong field was not easy!
