Every year, Champagne Castle Hotel hosts a Photo Competition open to everyone over the age of 18. First prize is a two night stay at Champagne Castle Hotel for two people.
The competition requires that all entrants submit an original photo that includes Champagne Castle (the mountain) and captures ‘a sense of place‘.
The Hotel puts a judging panel of 3 people together, who select a winning photo.
This Year’s Winners
This year we had 286 entrants. Well done to Sam Choles for her stunning photo that captures a ‘lonely hiker’, walking towards Blind Mans Corner.
The mountains of the Central Drakensberg are some of the most beautiful mountains in South Africa, and are filled with trails leading hikers to some incredible destinations, with absolutely stunning views.
The 3rd place image is on the back side of Champagne Castle, as you look from the Hotel. It’s a 2 or 3 day journey to get to the top of Champagne Castle (3rd highest mountain in South Africa).
During the course of the year we’ll be posting other entries from this year’s competition.
