Teemill design competition

A few months ago, we called on you to pick up your pencils and paintbrushes to create our next best-selling design.

Thank you to everyone who participated. It was a joy to see how many of you are inspired by the beauty of canals and rivers, and we loved seeing all your creations.

Now, the votes are in.

We’re delighted to announce your winners:

1. ‘Hawkesbury Junction’ – John Freeman

A man in winter clothing holds up a linocut creation with the print of a canal junction, in front of the same canal junction.

John proudly poses with 'Hawkesbury Junction' at the very location that inspired his design.

In first place, we have John’s peaceful recreation of Hawkesbury Junction.

Hear what John has to say about his winning design:

A blue linocut scene of a canal junction with narrowboats moored alongside brick buildings and a footbridge over the water.
