The competition is organised and sponsored by The Heights Hotel and Portland Visitor Information Centre. From time to time, Portland is showcased on the world's stage.

In 2017, we saw Sheila Hunn's picture of Osprey Quay win a prize, with the award of an afternoon tea for 2.
2018 was a great year for Jim Perkins, as he won the prize that year, for his photo of the Memory Stones. His beautiful photo can be seen on our home page to this website!
The 2019 winner was James Mullan, who submitted his view looking towards Blacknoor Fort.
2023 saw Roger Sutherland snapping some great shots from the sky, with his overhead picture of Portland Bill.
