12–15 Mobile phone and devices – Winner 2023
Description
On a walk in Blackpool, my attention was drawn to a massive blob of jelly. It was much bigger than the other jellyfish blobs we had seen. The different colours and the pattern caught my eye and I wanted to find out more about what type of jellyfish it was. Google tells me it’s a lion’s mane, which is one of the largest jellyfish species. I would have loved to see how long its tentacles were, but they can sting, even after being stranded on a beach, so I didn’t touch it.

Description
While strolling through the jellyfish section in the Beijing Aquarium, I noticed vibrant fluorescent jellyfish drifting in the midst. I didn’t think much of it at first – as it was just a few jellyfish. The more I peeled my eyes against the brittle glass, the more attraction I felt towards the jellies. It was as if the jellyfish bewitched me in a trance, playing with my mind with beaming shades of sunset. So, I snapped a picture of the jellyfish, which looked like flames dancing. It is called Chrysaora fuscescens – an elegant name for an elegant beauty.

Description
I was on the way into school and saw two squirrels in the playground. I got my phone out to take a photo of them both and one of them went over to the bin and jumped in. I thought it was an unusual place for a squirrel to go so I took the photograph.
