Annual Competition – June 13th 2023

Our Annual Competition for prints and projected images comprised three categories viz; Action; Open and Portrait and was well subscribed, especially the projected images section. The competition was judged by Beryl Heaton from Bristol Photographic Society, who was ably assisted and supported by husband Danny.

The prints section was judged first and all the entries will be displayed at our annual exhibition in the local library during the last two weeks of August. Our small but enthuastic core of printers submitted some excellent images and the winners of the sections were as follows

Action – Fast turn by Dave Garmont

Open: Sprocket and Spud by Jim Bullock (which was also judged as the best overall print)

Portrait: Having a laugh by Nigel Walkley

The projected image sections were well populated which tasked the judge with a large workload so her comments were succint but thoughtful. The winning entries were:

Action: Red Arrows by Rob Slade

Open: Common Blue damselfly by Alan Pryor

Portrait: Bashful look by Peter Hodgson (which was also judged as the best overall projected image).

Attendees enjoyed viewing a diverse range of images throughout the evening and in one week’s time, on June 20th, we will have our Awards Presentation evening with the RWB Mayor in attendance.
