One hundred reasons to smile

Max Eve, a pupil of Mowden Hall School in Stocksfield has 100 reasons to smile.

For the pupil’s winning entry of a coot and its chick in the Young Person’s category of the 2014 North East Wildlife Photography Competition, secured a £100 prize for his school courtesy of Nestlé Fawdon.

Now, with only a few weeks until the closing date, judges in this year’s competition are eagerly awaiting the entries in the Young Person’s category, to see if there is a photo as good as the one entered by Max.

For the third year running, Nestlé is the main sponsor, with Simon King Wildlife and Opticron already coming forward with a selection of wonderful prizes.

Entry is free and open to everyone, but photographs must have been taken in the North East. The closing date for entries is midnight, Sunday 10 May 2015.

The winners will be announced by George McGavin, wildlife TV presenter and resident ‘bug man’ on BBC 1’s The One Show, at an award ceremony on Thursday 9 July 2015 at the Great North Museum: Hancock in Newcastle with winning photos being displayed in the Museum before going on tour around the region.
