Fantastic!! I think we all saw what an exceptional photographer Jenaya is from her photos here, and they surely also saw it when we nominated her for one of the NANPA youth scholarships, and she won.
What an incredible future Jenaya has, if she chooses to make photography a career!

Congratulations, Jenaya! I'm honored to say I've met the last two youth winners of the Nature's Best and the last youth winner of the BBC competition, all Canadians. There's some great work being churned out by my neighbors to the north!
