2008 Maindee Festival

“Wildlife” Photography Exhibition Winners

Alick Cotterill

(adult)

Gavin Williams

(5-11 years)

Rebecca Jones

(12-17 years)

Images of wildlife from all over the world, including snow wolves from Canada and pigeons from Pontypool, were on display in this year’s photography tent. Entries came in from children as young as six year old Alex Baldwin and from others nearly old enough to be expecting a telegram from the Queen.

Our thanks to City photographer Mansel Davies, who runs a photography gallery in Usk, for judging this year’s contest. “ The adult winner was chosen for its quirkiness, more a portrait and less a nature study,” explained Mansel. “Whilst the high standard of this section speaks for itself I was particularly impressed by the number of child entries. This bodes well for the future of the event. Well done Maindee Festival.”
