This Summer The MAD Museum ran a Photography Competition and asked both amateur and professional photographers to send in their favourite snaps. We were inundated by some truly amazing pictures and want to say a big thank you to everyone who took part!
In each of the 3 categories (Adults, Teens and Kids) we had the difficult task of selecting two winning photos. Here are the chosen triumphant 6 images…
Adult Category
Frank Oelgrath
Winner of the Adult category
Photograph of Robert Moore’s ball bearing sculpture
Photo captures Frank’s 8 years old son being fascinated by the rolling ball machine.
Peter Wright
Winner of the Adult category
Photograph of Contemporary Heaven’s Gear Clock
Peter called this photograph ‘Passing Time’ and is just one of a series of beautiful images he sent us.
Teens Category
Ethan Garvie
Winner of the Teen Section
Photograph of OriginalFLEA’s hanging sculptures
This is Ethan’s favourite exhibit at The MAD Museum because he loves the way it’s been constructed.
Cerys Vaughan-Massey
Winner of the Teen Section
Photograph of Robert Moore’s ball bearing sculpture
Cerys took a series of beautiful photographs. This was our favourite one which depicts close-up detail of one of our rolling ball machines.
Kids Category
Marcus Renshaw
Winner of the Kids Section
Photograph of David William’s Fourmost Down with Gravity
This was Marcus’ favourite sculpture in the museum. After spending a long time watching how this piece works Marcus thought to capture the ball just as it bounced off the drum.
Noah Harris
Winner of the Kids Section
Photograph of David Rodger’s Weymouth Wobbler
We really like this because so much movement and excitement is expressed in this photo.
Next month we will be exhibiting the winning images at The MAD Museum, please come and have a look!
