CHESTER Zoo’s annual photographic competition was a roaring success.

The winner of the Photographer of the Year 2007 title was John Birch from Runcorn with his affectionate picture of the zoo’s Asiatic lion Asoka and his mate Asha.

John was awarded a canvas print of his picture, £100 worth of vouchers for Camera Solutions in Chester, a Canon wireless compact digital camera and a trophy shield.

Other winners were Becki Scott from Manchester who was runner-up in the Print section; Marian Wade from Whitchurch who came first place in the Digital section; and Sara Jayne Buxton who was runner up. William Grayson from Rhyl took first place in the Garden section and Fred Skinner from Cheadle Hulme was runner-up.

Finally, the junior section saw 14-year-old Amy Feather from Silsden take first place and 10-year-old Joshua Clarke from Holywell was runner-up.

The 2008 competition is now up and running – details and a downloadable entry form can be found online at www. chesterzoo.org.
