That the Parliament congratulates the Kilmarnock photographer, Lynne Harper, on winning several awards recently at the prestigious Guild of Photographer awards, including the highly-coveted overall photographer of the year award for 2019; recognises that the Guild runs an image of the month competition that has received over 13,000 entries in 2019; further recognises that these entries are then scored, with each individual receiving a yearly total score to determine who wins the individual genre groups and also the photographer of the year accolade; acknowledges that Lynne is one of only a few Guild members from Ayrshire and has only competed at this high level for four years; recognises that Lynne also won first place in the maternity genre and the newborn and baby genre, runner-up in the people genre, winner of the image of the year competition in the newborn category and runner-up in the children’s portraiture category; further congratulates Lynne on this outstanding achievement, and wishes her continued success in the future.
