SFTOCSkinny photo competition: the winner!
Did you go to Sounds from the Other City festival this year? If you took part in our #SFTOCSkinny photo competition, you'll want to check out the snaps below. Could yours be the winning photo? Good luck!
At this year's Sounds from the Other City festival, we asked you to share your photos of the day with the hashtag #SFTOCSkinny to be in with a chance of winning a big bundle of prizes.
We had an amazing 300+ entries, painting a picture of SFTOC in all its glorious creativity and weirdness!
From a shortlist of 30 photos, the festival team have chosen their favourite five snaps that capture the spirit of SFTOC – including one overall winner.
The winner receives a bevvy of goodies kindly donated by the festival's promoters and friends, including a record player, two passes to Sounds from the Other City 2017, lots of gig tickets, vinyl and a tote bag.
Take a look at the top five pics below – is yours among them?
