This month’s competition theme was “Light”. Due to the Covid 19 pandemic we were all under lockdown, so we had to come up with some innovative ideas on how to run the competition. We ended up using google drive and google sheets that would allow us to mark each others photos, and we recorded an online critique using Zoom. So it was lovely to be able to continue this key part of our club’s activities during the pandemic.

It was great to see so many entries and lots of very interesting interpretations of the theme. Well done to Seamus Long who won first place in the Unrestricted Category and Tanja Fischer who came first in the Novice category and also joint 3rd in the Unrestricted!

And here are the top 3 in each category:
