THIS year's Globe-backed Wirral Young Photographer of the Year competition was inundated with many stunning images of 'Natural Wirral' and now two lucky winners have been announced.

The competition was a huge success with more than 80 entries and gave the judges quite a challenge.

The winners were:

Aged 11 and under: Mark Hodgson, aged eight, St. Bridget's Primary School, West Kirby, with an atmospheric study called 'Hilbre at Sunset.'

In the 12-16 category, the winner was Coral Harrison, aged 13, from Upton Hall Convent School, with 'Moreton Beach.'
