Taken by Jane Blakely from Bushmills, it was the winner in the Open Category. There was a huge public response for the People’s Choice category this year with two entries tying for the top place. Wilbert McIlmoyle from Portstewart’s ‘Upside down and bottom up!’ captured the nail-biting excitement of the Broke FMX display team at the family event at Portrush, while Susan Shepherd from Carrowdore submitted ‘Escape from the Saiger’ showing one young fan’s dash for freedom.

The winners were presented with their prizes by the Mayor.
