Photography as an art form is well and truly alive in Anguilla and the cover of the 2015 Anguilla Yellow Pages Telephone Directory will be adorned with the proof of this.
Recently, Yellow Pages revealed the winner of the “Click the Cover Photography Competition”.
Lots of interesting entries were submitted to the competition which was launched on October 1st, 2014, giving amateur and professional photographers a fantastic opportunity to showcase their creative talents.
Samantha Laurent was pleasantly surprised when representatives from Anguilla Yellow Pages contacted her with the good news and a grand prize of US$600 for her photo entitled, “Bikini Sunset-Old St. Mary’s School Building”. The “People’s Choice Awards” went to Derrys Richardson who took home US$300 after receiving the most votes on the Anguilla Yellow Pages Facebook Page for is photo entitled, ‘Island Smile’.
To enter the competition people were required to upload their original photographs highlighting Anguilla’s life including scenery, people, places or things, to Anguillas’ Facebook page. Entries closed on November 14th, 2014, and the winner was then selected by a panel of experienced and qualified judges including Jade Raymond, Marketing Manager from LIME, and Joan Richardson, representing the Anguilla Tourist Board.
