Sounds great :) !! Can't wait to enter! I'm going to have to go for the south prize on both - but then again chester zoo is only a 2 and a half hour drive...... so there are essentially two comps with the same prize? What do abroad people enter as? North or South? Or Abroad? :)

That's what we are trying to work out Katie. We are trying our best to organise an overseas prize, but as you can imagine it is a difficult job! :) We should have some more news about it soon. Don't worry there will be something.

This looks like the toughest one to date ! All I can say is that I am glad I am no longer a "Junior", as, unlike some of the previous themes, I have absolutely no idea whatsoever what "New Beginnings " means, let alone how to capture it in an image. Presumably the judge knows ! ;) so I will be looking out with keen interest on how the creative, talented youngsters interpret this :)

It could be anything................new growth, a baby 'something', it's Springtime - there's a lot of "New Beginnings" going on! :) Perhaps it's a challenge a few adults could join in with! :)

Ah, perhaps then a shot of a digital camera would be OK as after 25+ years of a film camera this is a "New Beginning" for me :) Karen, no more clues for the youngsters though, let them work it out for themselves ;)

That would be a perfect example, Jeff - and I'm sure that our Juniors will have lots more - can't wait to see them! :) Fran x
