The February issue of
NG Kids reveals the amazing photographs taken by the finalists in the NG Kids Young Photographers Competition. The competition, now in its fourth year, is sponsored by Spur Steak Ranches and encourages kids to photograph the world as they see it.
The competition attracted over 1 200 entries and invited kids 14-years and younger to participate in the categories Animals; People; and My Environment. For the first time there was an MMS category for cell phone entries.
“Judging was no easy task,” says
NG Kids Editor, Fiona Thomson, “but the finalists’ photos were exceptional in terms of conception and execution.”
The nine talented finalists won digital cameras from Nikon; Spur meal vouchers; and
NG Kids subscriptions. Their work will be displayed at selected Spur Steak Ranches nationwide.
NG Kids South Africa and
NG Junior in Slovenia collaborated on a cultural travelling exchange programme for the winners of their respective competitions. The grand prize includes a trip for two to visit each other’s country, courtesy of the Slovenia Honorary Consulate in South Africa and sponsor companies in each country.
The winner in
NG Kids South Africa’s competition will be announced in the March issue and will travel to Slovenia with its picturesque mountains and coast line, taking pictures along the way with a state-of-the-art Nikon D5000 camera.
The Spur Groups’ Creative Director, Juanita Stead, says: “I am always delighted and inspired by the talented youngsters in South Africa. It is such a pleasure to support this excellent initiative with NG Kids.”
The NG Kids Young Competition series includes Young Conservationist; Young Chefs; and Young Artist. It is popular among NG Kids readers and allows wonderful interaction between the magazine and its readers. It is also an opportunity for companies targeting this audience to come on board as sponsors.
