TWO budding photographers from Sedgemoor have snapped up awards for their fantastic pictures.

Homes in Sedgemoor held a photography competition via their Facebook page for young photographers.

The aim was to inspire young people to capture moments in and around Sedgemoor.

The standard of entries was extremely high and the winners were chosen by the public, via social media. Shannon Haslam, age 14, won the 12-16 age group with a stunning photo of Browne’s Pond in Bridgwater and Ffion Thomas, age 11, won the 7-11 age group with a beautiful floral photo taken in her own garden in Burnham-on-Sea.

Homes in Sedgemoor’s managing director, Jen Barfoot, met with the winners to present them with their prize of high street vouchers and handmade cupcakes based on their favourite chocolate bars.

Mrs Barfoot said: “It was great to be able to meet the young women who had taken such fantastic photographs. We’re keen to involve as many of our customers as possible, of all ages, in the work of Homes in Sedgemoor, and this is a brilliant way to be able to use Facebook to encourage people to get involved.”
