Focus on Young People in Bassetlaw launched the competition in the summer in partnership with The Arts Society Dukeries.

Young people aged between eight and 18 were asked to take a photo of something they liked in the district in a fun way to encourage creativity and diversity.

Each submission was entered into one of three age categories to be in for the chance of winning a £50 high street gift voucher.

James Richardson won in the age group eight-12 after taking this photo while on a walk with his dog in Clarborough.James Richardson won in the age group eight-12 after taking this photo while on a walk with his dog in Clarborough.
