I want to congratulate the winners of my 2025 Christmas card photography competition. They beautifully captured the stunning character and coastal aspect of lots of Cook. Jess and Jordan Wilken from Wilken Photography, thank you for your fantastic photo. Michael Sutton, the creator of Humans of Cronulla, does beautiful morning photographs every day at Cronulla Beach. Carolyn from I Love Kurnell showcased the extraordinary natural environment off beautiful Kurnell. Their photos made the front of our Cook Christmas card.

I'd also like to acknowledge the outstanding runners-up, whose work equally highlighted how special our local area is: Jon Vale, for his image of Gymea Bay; Jane Hull and Sandra Reily, capturing beautiful Cronulla: Made By TM, with a stunning perspective of Sans Souci; Lyn Stokes, with a beautiful scene from Oyster Bay, and Silver Back—our local skateboarding celebrity dog, Giotto, who's currently sick and unwell, with a GoFundMe page. Please donate generously to Help Giotto Keep Shredding. We want to see him back and well.

Each of these entries reflects the pride people have in our gorgeous local community. They're the stories that make up our community and make it special. To all the winners and participants: thank you and congratulations.
