Beaulieu Camera Group held our Print of the Year competition 2024 on 5th November.
Prints which had been awarded a Seal of Merit during the year were eligible to take part giving a total of 37 in the competition.
Our judge for the event was Peter Woodhouse of Salisbury Photographic Club. Peter has judged at BCG on numerous occasions and as always, his critique of each image was excellent. Peter held back 16 prints for final consideration, before making his final choice of winners.
First place and the Print of the Year Trophy was awarded to Alan Price ARPS for his print "Red, Gold and Masked".
In 2nd place was "Ian Hutchinson with "Dunlin".
3rd place was awarded to Bob Abbott for "Covered in Dew".
Gordon awarded four Highly Commended Certificates to the following: "Young Jackal" by Bob Abbott, "Salisbury Cathedral Reflection" by Gordon Garrett, and "Bright Eyed Dartford Warbler" and "Sunset at Longslade Bottom" both by Maggie White CPAGB.
Congratulations to the award winners and to all the Beaulieu Camera Group members whose prints were awarded Seals of Merit during the year. The quality and variety of genres and styles certainly made for a super evening.
