A Mackenzie College pupil has won a top spot in a regional photography competition.

Will Cassie, 12, took first place in the 11 to 17-year-old category in the Canterbury Museum’s Amazing Animals photo competition.

His winning photograph was taken in late October last year of his pet sheep in a snowy paddock.

"When I found out I had won I was shocked."

He said with the number of entries in the competition, he was not expecting it.

The winning photographs from each category — along with some highly commended entries — were displayed at the Canterbury Museum Pop-Up which finished on Sunday.
