Fathers who take time to play with their children have been rewarded in a photographic competition.

The competition was organised by the Father's Resource Centre to encourage wives and girlfriends to photograph their partners spending time with their children.

The winners received vouchers of up to $200 from Kodak Express, part of Somers Distributing, at a ceremony at City Hall yesterday.

FRC president Alvin Goulbourne said: "The whole point of this was to get men interested in spending time with their children and every father who took part is a winner.

"If other men see these pictures of fathers swimming with their children or cutting their hair, they might be tempted to do the same.''
