The Experience West Sussex competition was held as part of a campaign being led by West Sussex County Council, working with others including the Coastal West Sussex Partnership, to promote the county as a visitor destination.

The winning photographs were the view from Bramber Castle by Martin Hurst, kite-surfing against a dramatic sky at Goring Gap by Ian Green, a stunning aerial view of Worthing Pier at night by Matt Lewis and the beautiful bluebells at the Angmering Park Estate by Clive Jones.

Louise Goldsmith, leader of West Sussex County Council, said: “With so many fantastic entries, it was challenging to choose just four winners.

“But I believe the winning four do an excellent job of capturing West Sussex and the incredible variety of outdoor and cultural activities it has to offer.

“It is a real privilege to have these pictures displayed at County Hall.

“I would encourage everyone living in or visiting West Sussex to get out and about and experience all the county has to offer.”
