The Great Big Photography Competition Winners Announced

This nature themed exhibition of photography marked five years of the local Nature Recovery Network with entries focused on our local environment, celebrating the intrinsic value of the natural world and what it brings us; from the smallest of flowers in back gardens and green havens, to creatures and natural networks in the wild.

There were three age categories:

0-10 years, 11-18 years & Adults.

There were also three people’s choice winners, voted for by the public attending NRN's 5th birthday celebration on Saturday 21st June.

With over 60 entries of very high standard it was extremely difficult to pick a single winner per category so 3 merit awards were also introduced!
