In 2025, 16-year-old photographer Anwen from South Wales captured Golden Hour, a striking image of a puffin bathed in warm evening light with a beak full of sand eels. The photo won The Week Junior Science+Nature Scavenger Hunt Photo Contest, earning her Canon camera equipment and a coveted spot on the magazine's front cover.
"I had been dreaming of a photo of a puffin during golden hour ever since I started wildlife photography," said Anwen, "and this evening I was able to capture my vision." Her image was praised for its beautiful light, technical skill and perfect timing, standing out among more than 1,000 entries from young photographers across the UK.
