“From mountain bike riding to swimming with friends or enjoying a sunset, there were plenty of colourful entries.”
A panel of judges selected the 13-year-old’s snapshot as the winning entry.
“Asher’s photo of himself and a friend floating in the water at Lake Leschenaultia captured exactly what the competition was about and the panel loved the clever caption he included: c’hillin’,” Cr Lavell said.
Judges noted entries by Jet Ventic, who submitted a video of himself doing parkour at his school and Kris White, who impressed with a shot of his karate moves at Mundaring Weir.
Asher received a mini iPad and certificate last week, with runners-up also getting prizes.
