In June this year, INDEPENDENT OXFORD launched the REDISCOVER OXFORD Photography Competition in partnership with Oxford City Council. They asked you to capture how you enjoy the beautiful city of Oxford and to show that, despite restrictions, Oxford is an alive and thriving place to live, work and visit.

Winners have been selected by a panel of Oxford based judges and between the 1st-31st August you can see the four winning images in the windows of 119-120 Fourth Avenue, The Covered Market. The exhibition has been hung by Cowley based Fusion Arts.

37 runners up are also on show in bus stops all across Oxford so you can walk, bus or cycle to see them. See the map (www.independentoxford.com) to discover them all.
