“The level of creativity and the quality of photographs we received was extraordinary,” says
NG Kids editor Fiona Thomson, “but we were most impressed by the finalists’ imagination, simplicity and originality.”
Each of the twelve finalists win a Spur meal voucher, a year’s subscription to
NG Kids, a Nikon Coolpix S3100 camera and a pair of Nikon Action binoculars. Jessica Wolf was crowned the overall winner - the judges were impressed with her control of a camera on a moving boat and that she managed to get five dolphins leaping out of the water in one amazing shot. Her prize package includes a Nikon D3100 camera and a family holiday at Sanbona Wildlife Reserve, courtesy of the Shamwari Group.
The
NG Kids Young Photographers Competition is run annually along with
Young Artists,
Young Chefs and
Young Conservationists. These competitions are aimed at young readers with interests in different or all genres, and provide the magazine with opportunities to interact on a creative level with readers, as well as the opportunity for potential sponsors to target a specific audience.
