Eltham Primary won $200 through prizewinning photographer Sam Mackay, who clinched first place in the Eltham Business association's 2012 calendar photo competition.
Sam says it is the first year he has entered the competition and was delighted to be named the winner on Friday, receiving his prize a digital camera from business association chairperson Jocelyn Carter.
She says though the number of entries this year is on par with last year, the quality of the entries is again a step up.
Having a theme, Letterbox Collection helped focus the photos.
The project is now in its fourth year, and Jocelyn says the primary school students are very keen. She thanks the Taranaki Electricity Trust for sponsoring the event.
