Congratulations to the winners of the two categories who will receive their much deserved case of wine shortly. All entrants will receive a copy of our very own guide to Sicily, "A Portrait of Sicily" (please send us your postal address if you haven't already).

We'll publish some "runners up" over the coming weeks, so keep coming back!

Right: Life in Sicily (Sicilian people, towns, landscapes etc)

Winner: Raimar von Wienskowski, Hamburg, Germany

Raimar took the photo on the right during a long weekend in Siracusa last summer. We agreed with him that it "reflects the proud attitude of the Sicilian people and demonstrates the traces of life in their faces"

Below: Wish You Were Here (having fun on holiday)

Winner: Margaret Robins, Essex, England

We have a sneaking feeling that the photo below sums up what many of our clients come to Sicily for - relaxation, spectacular views and a convivial sundowner or two in a privileged location!

Margaret wrote, "We found the perfect place to holiday in Sicily -Buzza Alta - set on a secluded, deserted pebble beach between Cefalu and Tindari at the foot of the Nebrodi Nature Reserve. ...the boys would talk into the small hours, glass of Sicilian wine in hand. Memories are made of this."
