Baby photo comp is a record-breaker

A brand new outdoor playhouse and a set of zip track deck blinds are on the cards for Wellsford Plunket, thanks to the annual Baby Photo Competition  run in conjunction with The Camera Shop and New World in Warkworth.

This year’s contest attracted 85 entries in five age categories – more than twice the number entered last year – and raised a record total of $1648.

As ever, the winners were decided by people voting for their favourites from a display in the New World foyer. Competition organiser Tania Hamilton thanked everyone who had contributed, especially the many businesses that had provided prizes.

Category winners and places were as follows: 0-1 year: Evie Corry (who wins Waterbabies swimming lessons), Levi Hermana, Kate Guggenberger; 1-2 years: Mila Scott (Unique Creations’ wooden truck), Macey Shepherd, Aria-Jane Capstick; 2-3 years: Leyton Dellow (scooter from The Warehouse), Raine Dockery, Scott Hamilton; 3-4 years: Tyler Holloway (fishing rod from Wellsford Sports & Leisure), Luca Michel, Eloise Wait; 4-5 years: Sophie Farnell (Accelor8 bike from The Warehouse), Taylor-Rose Comber Goodhue, Leo Hampshire.

Evie Corry won the newborn to 1 year category.

Mila Scott was the winner for 1- to 2-year-olds.

Tyler Holloway won the 3 to 4 age section.
