Thank you to everyone who entered and voted for the Toast of the Coast photography competition!

We were blown away by the quality of the entries, and had the hard task of choosing just 9 to be displayed at Coast. Over the 2.5 weeks the finalists were displayed, we received a whopping 1,033 votes! A HUGE congratulations to our winner, Bessie Pan (14) for her stunning sunset image. Bessie names her image Artwork of the Sun. “Taken somewhere between our holiday boating trip. From Gulf Harbour to Tiritiri Matangi to Great Barrier and back!”

Bessie has received a brand new Fujifilm Mirrorless Camera to use for her future photography. Our runner up was Anabelle Cummins (15) who recently moved to the Coast and is feeling inspired by nature, and 3^rd place went to Alex Ho (12) for his lovely shot of his sister and her friends.

Well done everyone!
