Photo Competition 2020
The club’s Photographic Competition is an annual event, started by Geoff Tanner as far back as 1954. The annual social event usually takes place at Morley College when all the entries are shown and commented on by the judge. Luckily, this year’s social was held on 28 February – before the restrictions brought about by the Covid-19 pandemic. Thanks to the Photographic Competition organiser Sigrid for another enjoyable and interesting event.
The judge is always someone independent from the club. In 2019/20 we were fortunate to secure the services of Steve Mepsted, Programme Manager for Digital Media & Photography at Morley, to whom many thanks for his friendly but critical comments.
Photographs were submitted across five categories: A, Landscape & Scenery; B, Flora & Fauna; C, People; D, Buildings & Art and E, Special Subject (which this year was ‘Signs’). The winners and runners up in each of these categories are shown below. In addition the ‘Maria Lee’ prize (in memory of a late member who was organiser of the competition for many years) for the best of the winning photographs went to Sandra H for her photograph, Antananarivo, Madagascar, which also took first prize in the Landscape and Scenery category.
