Normans competition winner on top of the world...

If you are going to win a great prize with a great music image then why not go the whole hog...

Winner
 

The winner of the Normans Picture Image competition to win a Zoom Q4 Handy Video Recorder has been revealed — and what an image they won it with too!

Congratulations

Congratulations go to Gur Rotkop — who as you can see, had perhaps got himself the best place in the world to do a spot of trombone practice…

Amazing

Jonty Hines of Normans told 4BR: “Out thanks go to everyone who entered – there were some quite brilliant images and we found it a really difficult decision to make.

It was Gur’s amazing image that topped everything though, and we are sure the Video Recorder will come in handy for his next practice venue!”
