The WPF hosted the annual Celtic Challenge Competition at the Glamorgan Holiday Hotel Porthcawl recently. Visitors from 5 of the Federations who competed enjoyed an abundance of splendid photography, and a masterclass in how to judge a competition by Martin Fry FRPS, APAGB, AFIAP, AV-AFIAP.
The Irish Photographic Federation won the Competition, and won two of the "Best in" awards, for colour print and projected image. It was generally agreed that the event was a great success and well put together. Every print was projected on to a large screen through Live View so everyone could see them in detail, and the projected images were displayed using DiCentra which put titles and scores on screen.
In the evening we enjoyed a splendid 4 course meal at the Hotel and welcomed Madeline Moon MP as a special guest. The Meal was preceded by entertainment by the Morlais Male Choir, and it was a very convivial evening.
Congratulation to the Scottish Photographic Federation's Margaret Elliot who received the Best Monochrome Print for 'Jack'
