    Fourth grader Tera Cook jumped at the opportunity to compete in the Oklahoma Aquarium's first annual photography contest. This year the Oklahoma Aquarium hosted a photography contest with three different categories including: youth, amateur, and professional. With great excitement, Tera entered two different photos in the competition.

    Several weeks later, she received the great news that she had been waiting for. Tera was elated when she found out that she won first and second place for her two photos in the youth category. Her first place photo was named "Peek-a-boo", which consisted of a clown fish coming out of an urn on its side. Tera's second place photo, "Tickle Tickle", was of a clownfish coming out of a sea anemone.

    For her great accomplishment, she was awarded gift certificates, a personalized fish blanket, and a five foot tall stuffed fish. Tera came out with a great experience that she will forever remember. She will definitely be first in line next year to compete with her fishy friends.
