Thanks to everyone who submitted. The competition encouraged young New Zealanders to think about why our country ought to go Cage Egg Free by depicting a gorgeous picture of hens free in a natural setting. The competition was open to 4 to 12 year-old around New Zealand. 
SAFE's promotions manager Amanda Sorrenson said "Entries in this year's competition were so skillful and delightful. Some kids created clever and humorous innovations, such as characterising hens as All Blacks, or punching the image up into 3D! Others were just outstanding with colour and technique." "The competition was no easy feat to judge there were so many fabulous entries to compare. Congratulations to winners and thanks to all who entered around the country."
