Special Mention: Girls

Kristin, from Germany


Kristin got a special mention for her work on Instagram @kristin_soley. Although she didn't have many posts before the competition, the judges commended Kristin for putting into practice what she'd learned while maintaining a highly individual personal flair.

Third place: Best Girl on Instagram

Petra, from Finland 


The great thing about following @bberttaa (on the right) is the way she gets her friends involved in her pictures and you get a sense of fun from her feed.

Second place: Best Girl on Instagram

Maria from Spain


We loved Maria's Instagram feed @mariagapoole, including this fabulous shot of her with her Spanish teammate Markel.

First Place: Best Girl on Instagram

Raluca from Moldova 


If you've been following @ralucaristea, you will know Raluca has a superb sense of taste and really gave an insight into the competition. We posted on of her pictures of the Finalists jumping for joy outside the Duomo on our story about the trip into the city - click to see it here
