News Photographer of the Year:
Winner: Sam Moore, freelance, Cornwall
Highly Commended: Glenn Phillips, Wiltshire Times and Steve Pope, Herald Express, Torquay

The 1999 BT West of England News Photographer of the Year title went to Newquay-based freelance Sam Moore, pictured above, who previously won this category in 1997.

All five of his submitted pictures were roundly applauded by the judges and one - a shot of last summer's cloudy total solar eclipse - "was as good as anything taken by the national photographers. His emotion-packed picture of Jill Dando's funeral was also quite exceptional."
