Lights, camera, action! The winners of the Capture Your Cape Town photo competition have been announced.

From sunsets to people, from Table Mountain to the blue water and white sand of Blaauwberg beach, the photo entry finalists were magnets for viewers’ votes – showing that Cape Town’s landscape truly is inspiring. It must have been hard to make that final choice, but with seven categories for photos showing Cape Town as the ultimate destination, hopefully voting was made easier. And to photographers who weren’t winners – every photo submitted was testament to how much the city is loved.

And the winners are:
