EDITORS COMMENTS
This framed photographic print captures the vibrant spectacle of The Great British Duck Race, an annual event held near Hampton Court Palace in London. In this particular shot, a lone yellow duck stands out among the estimated 250,000 blue plastic ducks that fill a 1km stretch of the iconic River Thames. Now in its second year, The Great British Duck Race is not just about fun and entertainment; it serves as a remarkable fundraising initiative for several charities including the Downs Syndrome Association, WaterAid, and the NSPCC. Participants can enter their own duck into the race for a mere £2 fee, with all proceeds going towards these noble causes. The stakes are high as contestants eagerly await their chance to win an impressive £10,000 prize money. As each colorful duck races down the river's current towards the finish line, excitement fills the air. Who will emerge victorious? Which blue duck will be propelled by fate to cross that final threshold first? This photograph encapsulates both joyous anticipation and charitable spirit within one frame. It reminds us of how simple acts like entering a rubber duck into a race can make a significant impact on people's lives through generous donations to those in need.
