p.1 #1 · The Alt and Mirrorless Monthly Competition - Best of 2025
Now that all monthly competitions for 2025 have been finalised I thought it would be fun to have a best of 2025 shootout to showcase the winners of each month.
No upload necessary, just vote for your favourite winning image from 2025, we'll use the same format as the monthly with 3 votes worth 3,2 and 1 points.
Votes to be posted by end of March Please
Note: Vote for the month not the photographer, some folks have more than one winner :-D
