Best photo
The three best photographs, as chosen by the judges, were all printed on canvas and presented to the winners.
"Man's Struggle" (an artwork displayed on the side of The Herbert) - Team Mattley
"A masterpiece that captures the mural beautifully and makes it somehow more real, like a Picasso painting come to life."
Allesley Walled Garden - Phil Radbourne
"A quirky, playful photo that has colour, depth and texture. Good composition and it made us smile."
Reconciliation Statue, Coventry Cathedral - Julia
"A photo that shows what you can do when you have a feel for your subject. We felt that this image of the Reconciliation statue in the ruins of Coventry Cathedral successfully captured the spirit of the city."
Most points
Every target on the list was given a points value based on its distance from the starting point and how important it was. The prize for most points was won by Team Wormova with a stunning 167 points.
Judges' choice
The final prize on offer was the "judges' choice", the winners of which would be given a selection of Wikimedia merchandise. This prize was won by the Nicholson Family. The judges said:
"The Nicholson Family win the judges' choice award. They approached the event as a fun day together as a family, captured some excellent photos and got involved in the event with smiles on their faces - and to us, that's what it's all about."
