Friends of Richmond Park Photography

Competition for Young People 2008

Once again we have had an excellent response to our photography competition for young people, sponsored by Russell-Cooke Solicitors. Our judges, Su Hume and Michael Walter, were extremely impressed with the overall standard of entries and awarded prizes in every category, plus several 'Highly Commended' certificates.

The competition was open to anyone aged 18 and under in three separate age categories: under 7; 7-11; and 12-18. The winners and 'Highly Commended' in each category are as follows:
