This Christmas season we’ve teamed up with Dorset Mind to find the photograph which best portrays “Winter in Dorset” for the Dream Cottages Christmas Photo Competition.
Send us your wintery snaps for a chance to win a £50 amazon gift card and to have your photo featured on our 2022 Dream Cottages Christmas cards.
Plus, for every entry we receive we’ll donate 50p to Dorset Mind, to support their incredible work helping local people with mental health challenges.
