Northallerton Mowbray Rotary club re-invented their annual photographic competition this year and raised money for a local charity.
The competition was rebranded ‘Life in Lockdown’ encouraged entrants to submit images that depicted how lockdown had affected their lives during the Coronavirus Pandemic.
Independently judged by Alli and Phil Bird, the winner was Pauline Kirby, wife of the president of Richmond Rotary Club with a picture captioned ‘Sixty days off-the-wall’.
Second place was Northallerton Mowbray Rotary Club president Anne Wall with an entry captioned “Awaiting the return of grand-children playmates” and in third place was Susan Rogers, Rotary’s assistant district governor (North) from the Wensleydale Rotary Club.
Her entry was captioned “Sunday dinner with friends”.
Local charity Northdale, which provides training and work-based activities for adults with learning and/or physical disabilities will be receiving a total of £200 as all three winners kindly donated their prizes back to the charity.
Northdale manager Simon Cross said as all Northdale clients were currently isolated at home the charity was sending out activity boxes containing pencils, colouring books and the like to keep them occupied.
Mr Cross said: “We are very grateful to Northallerton Mowbray Rotary Club and the donation will help us support our clients at home to keep safe and keep busy.”
The competition was organised by Alan Miller of the Northallerton Mowbray club who said he was delighted at the response to the idea and the standard of entries.
