Can’t believe it is this time of the month already!
We have had the lovely Laura, from Tired Mummy of Two pouring over the 92 entries to the November KiddyPlay Photo Contest to try and find a winner and it isn’t an easy task as there are some gorgeous entries this month.
As always we have picked a selection of our favourites, with Laura wanting to make special mention of these two lovely shots…
This is taken by Joy, from Coventry, who has captured a wonderful shot of a little girl, I suspect it is her daughter, hunting for fish at the seaside.
The other shot that Laura liked was this from Vicky in Shrewsbury whose lovely Laila was really captivated by the bubbles in her photograph.
Well done to you both, and thanks for sharing these special play moments with us.
My favourites included these as well, but there were others that captured the theme well:
- Top left; the lovely Di’s little boy probably discovering how SuperLucky they both really are
- Top middle; you know this one already ;-)
- Top right; Becky from Nottingham off to see Santa already!
- Middle left; Autumn leaves fun from Lisa in Crewe
- Middle; Sarah from A Field Somewhere, not in a field but with a Tree
- Middle right; a wonderful shot mid slide (I think) from Kathryn in Edinburgh
- Bottom left; a giant bubble from Claire in Winchcombe
- Bottom middle; we’re seen this already from Joy, and
- Bottom right; Jeanette in Essex, and her rather wonderful Robot!
We hope you liked these too, but without further ado, the winner is *fanfare*…
This was chosen because:
The composition and colours were fantastic and I loved the concentration on the subjects faces as they played rather than posed for the camera.
It is taken by Lucy in Chinnor, so well done, you have won the £50 voucher from Born Gifted. Thanks to everyone who entered, it was a pleasure receiving the photos and thanks to you all, The Kids Company, have an extra £50 as well.
Entries were a little disappointing this month , given our charity focus, but we are hopful we get a little more in January when we are being sponsored by the wonderful people at Micro Scooters!
in the meantime, head on over to our 12 Days of Christmas giveaway for some wonderful prizes, a new one up for grabs every day until the 12th of December.
