Classic Cottages is delighted to be a sponsor of the 2024 Cornwall Wildlife Trust Photography Competition.
As long-time supporters of Cornwall Wildlife Trust, we were delighted to sponsor this year’s Wildlife Photography Competition. The competition had five categories, from ‘Feathered Friends’ and ‘Terrestrial Treasures’ to ‘Nature’s Comedy’, and we were really pleased to sponsor the 'Young Photographer’ category. The awards night was held on the 17th of October at Truro Cathedral, where we could view the incredible shortlisted images (pasty in hand!) before the winners were announced in each category. We were blown away by the finalist’s amazing images, which beautifully celebrate Cornwall’s incredible natural environment. Afterwards, we got the chance to listen to two very inspiring talks by the amazing team at Cornwall Wildlife Trust.
The winner of the Young Photographer category was Samuel Norris, whose image of a European Common Frog was truly special! We were delighted to join Samuel on stage for the award presentation.
Rowan Hartgroves, Corporate Partnerships Officer at Cornwall Wildlife Trust, says: “We were thrilled to have Classic Cottages sponsoring the Young Photographer category in this year’s wildlife photo competition. Inspiring young people to capture the beauty of Cornwall’s wildlife is a great way to nurture a lifelong connection to nature. Their support helps us encourage the next generation of conservationists through creativity and passion.”
Should you wish to see the images for yourself, the exhibition is open at Truro Cathedral until the 13th of November. Here you can view all 30 shots from the finalists and vote for your favourite in the ‘People’s Choice Award’, which will be announced at the end of November.
