A Deeside teenagers photo has been nominated for a top RSPCA award.

Fourteen animal snaps taken by youngsters ranging from aged 11 to 18 have been shortlisted for the animal charity’s competition.

The winner will be decided by votes cast online by members of the public.  

The shortlist of photographers includes 16 year old Evey Garner from Deeside with her photograph named ‘meerkat or dog’.

In December 2019, an official judging panel – made up of photographic experts including RSPCA Vice President Chris Packham, TV presenter Patrick Aryee and several industry professionals – announced the overall winners of the RSPCA Young Photographer Awards 2019. 

In part two of the competition – March 2020 – there is a special online poll, named ‘People’s Choice’, for the public to pick their winning photo from the Mobile Phone and Devices category featuring three age groups of Under 12s, 12-15s and 16-18 year olds plus the Picture Perfect Pets category.

The winner of the RSPCA People’s Choice competition will receive £100 worth of vouchers from Amazon.co.uk, an RSPCA Young Photographer Awards trophy and a certificate.

Voting will be open for one week from today, Wednesday, 4 March, closing at 4pm on Wednesday, 11 March, and the winner will be announced on the RSPCA’s Facebook page at 5pm the same day.

Online voting is now open for people to choose their favourite animal photo in the RSPCA’s ‘People’s Choice’, part of the RSPCA Young Photographer Awards.
