The first set of Speciality Competitions were held on Thursday 25th October.  These comprised of

Gaston Alziary Award - This is for the Best Black and White Print

Tudor Cup Award - This is for the best SET OF THREE RELATED BLACK AND WHITE PRINTS shown as a panel.

Joan Wakelin Award - This for the best DOCUMENTARY PANEL with a human interest.  Each panel must comprise of a set of 5 images and contain a human element in all the images – the sort of pictures that would illustrate an article in a Sunday colour supplement.  The lead picture must be able to show the Judge what the subject is about and all 5 images as a whole should "tell a story". All 5 images are to be mounted onto a single mount no larger than 600mm X 500mm. The lead picture is to be noticeably larger than the other four. 

It was with great pleasure that Newbury Camera Club welcomed the judge for the evening - Tony Oliver (ARPS, CPAGB, BPE2*) from Salisbury Camera Club.  Due to the number and the quality of the entries received from the club members, Tony had quite a task to reduce the number of entries in order to award 1st, 2nd, 3rd and Commended marks.

Well done to all entrants.  Here are the results
