Cows reflect diversity of ILT Youthmark awards
In 24 years involved with the ILT Youthmark Young Achievers Awards, photographer Shelley Clark has never had cows in the mix before.
Wyndham's Kate Cummings is one of 49 successful recipients in 2016, earning the award for Holstein Friesian Cattle and Sheep Meat Judging.
Clark said it was a far cry from the traditional sporting and academic recipients and reflected the diversity of the province's youth.
"It's always nice to see students acknowledged for their achievements outside of what's considered the norm," she said. "It's so important for our young people to get the kudos they deserve - too often society focuses on the negative of our youth."
The annual awards will be presented to students from all Southland secondary schools, as well as Blue Mountain College and Wakatipu High School, following an exhibition at the Ascot Park Hotel on October 27.

“It will be welcoming yet contemporary – people will feel very proud of the vibrant space we are creating.”
The trust will purchase a 400sqm building, currently occupied by Bin Inn, on the corner of Grace and Ness Streets, adjacent to its existing community park and basketball court developments. “This initiative will tie it all together in a fully integrated indoor/outdoor facility,” Hickman said.
