Every year, Champagne Castle Hotel hosts a Photo Competition open to everyone over the age of 18. First prize is a two night stay at Champagne Castle Hotel for two people.

The competition requires that all entrants submit an original photo that includes Champagne Castle (the mountain) and captures ‘a sense of place‘.

The Hotel puts a judging panel together, who select a winning photo.

This Year’s Winner

We had 283 entries this year, and our judges worked through all of them to finally get down to one winner.

Well done to Monique Pretorius

Monique’s winning photo was taken in front of the dam of our self-catering chalets. She definitely captured the magnificence, magnitude and ‘Sense of Place’ found at Champagne Castle Hotel.
