Pollyanna Pickering and Graham Norton Pick a Winner!
The winning ticket in the Pollyanna Pickering Foundation 2010 Summer Prize draw was drawn by comedian and television presenter Graham Norton (left with Pollyanna). The lucky winner, Mr Wright of South Wingfield, Derbyshire has won an original painting of a tiger cub.
Familiar to most people as the host of his BBC1 chat show, and programmes including Strictly Dance Fever and How Do You Solve A Problem Like Maria? Graham Norton is in fact also a keen wildlife lover and conservationist, and he was happy to give up his time to join Pollyanna to draw the winning ticket. Two years ago, Graham left his pet dog, Bailey, at home to head for the remote Ethiopian Highlands in search of the Ethiopian Wolf, for a ‘Saving Planet Earth' documentary. The two made contact after Pollyanna travelled to the same area a year later, the first ever wildlife artist to visit this region to paint the wolves. Both Graham and Pollyanna worked with Claudio Sillero and the team from the Ethiopian Wolf Conservation Programme, which targets the greatest threats to the survival of Ethiopian wolves and their Afroalpine habitat. The Ethiopian wolf is world's most endangered carnivore. Only 500 of the wolves remain, and these are at risk of extinction due to canine diseases.
The £1521.00 raised by the prize draw has been added to the percentage of sales from Pollyanna's Summer Exhibition ‘Beyond the Great Wall' to fund the rescue of an Asiatic Moonbear from a bile farm in Vietnam
