About Kids on Flickr - 5 comps OPEN

Mission statement :

To provide kids with a safe place on flickr where they can make quality friendships while improving their photography skills. To provide fun activities, competitions and workshops, aimed at their level, to positively enhance their photography experience.

[ A note to parents : This group is managed my me (Saxon9 / an adult & a Mum) to ensure that the childrens safety and well being is upheld. There are also another 4 adult "mentors" who are genuine & respectable people to help monitor the group and to provide quality feedback to the children on their photographs. As my children are photographers, this group has come about because so many other groups are just not suitable for youngsters; too competative or critical an envirnoment for them to do well in. All members are screened prior to admittance to ensure they are children to preserve the integrity of their interactions. I also understand that with school, sports and other activities that kids of today are "busy", and have thus set up here so that 20-30 minuites here weekly or fortnightly would be ample in which to particpate & learn. Please do not hesitate to contact me should you ever have questions, queries or concerns. Thankyou]
