In March, photographers from Amstelveen in the Netherlands and Óbuda-Békásmegyer in Hungary also entered their photographs into the competition.

There were three main categories — Older People, In and Around the House and Family Dreams. A keen photographer, Jim submitted a number of photos. His winning entry featured in the Family Dreams category.

Since taking the photos, Jim has become visually impaired and was unable to accept the main prize of a visit to Amstelveen. He continues to take pictures with help from members of his family.

An exhibition of all the entries was held at Woking library last month.
