Competition 2026

Thanks go to Mike Randell for judging the 2026, Group 1 photography competition. There were two categories, Wheels and an open category. Mike, (who for many years, with his wife, had a wedding photography business locally) provided some great tips and constructive criticism, and was presented with a thank you gift. He said it was difficult judging because all of the photographs were of a very high quality and standard and worthy of a place. In fact, he said that the standard was much higher than when he judged the 2025 competition. Every person in the group came away with a place in a category. All of the photographs will be on display at the April monthly meeting at Venue 360 and will be in a future issue of your In Touch newsletter. Thanks to Mike for his time and to David and Jeanne for their leadership and hospitality.

Members could submit three in the set category and two in the open or vice versa.  All photographs had to be size 10 x 8 inches and mounted.
