The National Churches Trust's 'Save our Spires' photography competition made a photograph of St Peter's Church, in Oundle in Northamptonshire, as the victor.
The contest aimed to show why spires are an important part of the UK's visual landscape and heritage.
Eddie Tulasiewicz, from the campaign, told Premier: "We launched a campaign to highlight that a lot of church spires need a lot of repairs and to hopefully raise money for that.
"As part of that we thought it's a great opportunity for some of the wonderful amateur photographers around the country to take photographs of church spires and show off their favourites."
Save our Spires' photography competition winners were announced by actress and charity worker Joanna Lumley.
Since 2013, the National Churches Trust has funded repairs to 17 spires in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, investing over £370,000 in their future.
Many church spires in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland are also in need of major repair and the National Churches Trust wants to raise another £250,000 to help safeguard the future of more church spires.
Speaking about winner William Gunson's photograph of St Peter's Church, Mr Tulasiewicz said: "There's this sort of wonderful spire poking up into clear blue sky and there's silhouettes of trees and flowers in front of it.
"It looks more like the south of France than Northamptonshire to be honest, but it does show how beautiful church spires are."
William Gunson, the winning photographer, said: "I am delighted to have won the National Churches Trusts' Save our Spires photography competition.
"St Peter's church stands in the middle of the ancient market town of Oundle and has the highest spire in Northamptonshire, standing proud at 210 feet above the town and its public school.
"As well as being a church with a long and distinguished history, it is also home to a thriving local community, features traditional and modern worship, hosts Remembrance Day services, Oundle School lunchtime concerts and other community activities.
"The spire is also a landmark for our pupils at Oundle School, who have passed it every day on their way to lessons for almost 500 years.
"The slender spire towers over the central cloisters of the school, where I teach, and can be seen for miles around as a point for navigation when the pupils are out and about around the countryside on expeditions and CCF exercises.
"From certain angles and villages around Oundle, the lancet windows of the spire align and you can see straight through the structure.
"Pupils also study its architecture as part of Oundle's Trivium course, and the church often features in pupils' artwork, as well as being home to regular musical offerings to the town by our pupils.
"The photograph is taken from the school grounds, by the Great Hall."
