NG Kids 2010 Photography Competition results

 
Thanks to everyone who entered our 2010 Photography Competition! Thousands of you sent in amazing pictures, making it a tough job for our judges, wildlife adventurer, Steve Backshall, and National Geographic photographer, Reza, to choose the winners - but here they are!


Humour category winner and British Isles'
National Winner - Get Back, Better On
Eleanor Leonne Bennett, 14

"Eleanor’s brilliant photo is an incredibly topsy-turvy take on the world, which takes me right back to my own childhood. I love it!" NG Kids judge, Steve Backshall


Scenery category winner - View From The Balcony
Jodie Dawes, 10

"Most people think of landscapes for this category, but Jodie’s is a very different scene. It makes the man look really alone. Brilliant!" NG Kids judge, Reza


People category winner - G.I. Jive
Cora Jundi-McKnight, 10

"Cora’s photo really stood out. It tells 100 little stories and has a timeless quality to it. I’m astounded at the quality of the work here. Well done, Cora!" NG Kids judge, Steve Backshall


Animals category winner - Shadow cat
Hussein Mohamed Rabie, 11

From manta rays, to rays of sunshine!
Eleanor’s cool photo has won her a seven-night holiday to the exotic Caribbean islands of Trinidad and Tobago! Eleanor and her family will first stay at Trinidad’s Mt Plaisir Estate Hotel, then jet over to the stunning island of Tobago, to stay at the Rex Turtle Beach Resort. Eleanor also scoops a Nikon D5000 Digital SLR camera – so she can take super snaps of her trip!

International photo fun
The winning photos from all four categories will be entered into our International Photography Competition, to compete against NG Kids readers from all over the world! And they’ll also be in with a chance of winning a trip to National Geographic HQ in Washington DC, USA! Cora, Hussein and Jodie will also get a Nikon COOLPIX P100 camera, so they can start snapping for next year’s competition!
