2025 Winner Crikey Photography Competition 10 Under
plus two Finalist images
Winner – Crikey! Magazine Photography Awards 2025 (Under-10s Category)
Winning Image: “Stripey Jumper” – Queensland, Australia
Jamie has won the Under-10s Category in the Crikey! Magazine Photography Awards 2025, an international competition that celebrates young nature photographers and encourages children to explore the wild world through the lens. The awards, supported by Crikey! Magazine and the Australia Zoo, continue the Irwin family’s legacy of inspiring a love for wildlife and conservation.
Her winning photograph, “Stripey Jumper,” features a striking close-up of a jumping spider on a window in Queensland, Australia. The image captures the spider’s vivid markings, curious stance, and intricate detail — all brought to life through sharp focus and natural light.
Jamie was also named a finalist with two additional images:
“Bamboo Home” – a portrait of another spider peeking out from a hollow bamboo stem, revealing both the species’ camouflage and Jamie’s patient, observant approach to wildlife photography.
“Head twister” – taken from a boat in Australia, this photograph freezes a perfectly timed moment as a satin flycatcher shakes its head, sending a seed flying into the air.
Her success in the Crikey! Awards adds to an impressive list of achievements, becoming the youngest-ever Patron of Cuan Wildlife Rescue.
