Once again, the COVID situation meant that all competitions were restricted to Digitally Projected Images only and run as online ‘Zoom’ meetings. Thanks to all the Lancashire & Cheshire Photographic Union judges who gave up their time to join us via Zoom and judge the images.

Over the seven different competitions a total of 294 images were submitted by 21 different entrants.

Congratulations to Jan Wilding who won Photographer of the Year for the third year running! Second place went to Patricia Keegan and third place to Ian Atkinson. Jan also won the Open DPI and the President’s Theme (Landscapes) DPI competitions.

The Nature DPI was won by John Wild, People DPI by Graham Latter and the Monochrome DPI by David Melville.

Congratulations to all the winners!

Congratulations to Jan Wilding for winning the President’s Theme Competition with her image “London Skyline”. The theme was Landscapes.

Congratulations to Graham Latter for winning the People competition with his image “Man in Pillory”.

Congratulations to Jan Wilding for winning the Open 3 competition with her image “Nigella Reflections”.

We have now received the results from the PAGB 2022 GB Cup competition and this time surprisingly we gained more higher scoring images in the Nature Section than in the Open Section.    In the club ranking we came joint 43^rd out of 77 clubs in the Nature Section and joint 68^th out of 87 clubs in the Open Section.   

Congratulations to Patricia Keegan who gained the highest score with her image Shadowy Man and thanks to all whose images we used as part of our entry.
