The Emneth scarecrows came out in full force this weekend featuring a policeman, hedgehog - and even a ghostbuster.
The Fens village came together to celebrate the annual festival with 341 votes cast for the best dressed.
In a post on Facebook, organisers said: "Absolutely amazing atmosphere and turnout.
"The children chose the design, raided old clothes, collected the straw, stuffed the scarecrows and wrote the signs.
"Well done to everyone who entered a scarecrow and took part in the event.
"It was family fun at its best for a lovely village event."
The top five were as follows -
