Third Internal Competition 2017-18 – ‘Architecture’ DPI

By Kevin Lomax Competitions, News No Comments

We held our third internal competition of the season on Monday. This was a DPI-only competition on the theme of ‘Architecture’. Thanks to all who entered images. We had 56 entries from 19 entrants in total.

The competition was internally judged with Ian Morison and Howard Self being the judges. Both had clearly done additional research which added to their critique. Thank you to both of them for their comments and scoring.

Congratulations go to Conor Molloy and Malcolm Brunt who each had an image which scored 20 points.

A full list of the scores can be found here.

Success for Alison in “Women Behind the Lens” Competition

By Kevin Lomax Competitions, Members Successes, News No Comments

Congratulations to Alison Lomax who had an image shortlisted in Picfair’s “Women Behind the Lens” competition. The competition was open to all women photographers and attracted over 4,000 entries from more than 40 countries. The aim was to raise the profile of female photographers as currently only 2% of photographers on the books of major commercial agencies are female.

Images were entered into four categories – Portrait, Nature, Street Level and Architecture – with five images being shortlisted in each category. Alison’s entry, “Sunflower Close-Up”, was entered and shortlisted in the Nature category.

All shortlisted images were displayed in the entrance gallery of The Guardian’s offices in London.

A selection of images which didn’t quite make the shortlist were displayed electronically in the gallery. Congratulations also go to Louise Acton for having one of her images in this selection.

Alison’s image and all other shortlisted images can be viewed here.
