Each year, the David Shepherd Wildlife Foundation runs a competition for school children and also holds an exhibition in Lusaka where their work is on show. The work of the winners is then sent to London where it is judged against entries from around the world and this work is exhibited at the Natural History Museum in London. They are judged again by David Shepherd from 1^st to 4^th place within each country, and this year, one of our Zambian students, Elsa Chalcraft, won runner up when judged against all the work from all participating countries in all age groups! The competition theme this year was “A brush with extinction”
