30/11/2020 - Discover What's on your Doorstep Photography Competition Winners Announcement

Donegal Tourism is delighted to announce the winners of its recent Donegal – Discover What’s on your Doorstep Photography Competition. With almost 1,200 entries the standard was incredibly high and really showcased the whole of our beautiful county. Hopefully when we can all travel again these beautiful images will help inspire us all to discover more of Donegal, in particular those hidden gems that we may not have known about before.

 

Speaking about the Discover What’s on your Doorstep Photography Competition, Cathaoirleach of Donegal County Council Cllr Rena Donaghey said “Donegal has some of the most beautiful scenery and exciting attractions in the country and all the entries have served to highlight this even further. With entries coming from all across Europe it is clear that so many people love our county and what we have to offer. I want to congratulate everyone who participated in the competition and in particular the winners. I look forward to a time when we can all start discovering more of what is on offer here on our doorstep in Donegal .’’
