We are very pleased to have patronage granted from FIAP, PSA, RPS, GPU and the PAGB. Once again we had nine selectors for our six sections. This included a panel of three Nature specialists who selected the Nature sections. This year we received a total of 7276 entries, down on last year, mainly due to a big drop in our entry from China. We received a total of 4995 Projected Images and, although prints were down slightly, we were very pleased to receive 2281 prints. This year again saw a good representation of countries from which we received work, with entries from 53 countries. After Judging, I’m very pleased to say, that 50 of these countries are represented in this year’s Acceptances, and 23 countries feature in our Awards. However; over 64% of our total entry came from the UK Countries. This particularly affected the print entries, and is refl ected in the number of UK Acceptances and Awards, particularly in the print sections. Congratulations to all of the authors that have been successful this year, and also to the winners of the Best Club Awards. Please come along to our Exhibition if you can to see all of the award winning Prints and PDIs and a large selection of this year’s Acceptances.
