The 6th Masters of Print closed for entries on 20th November 2022, and once again Scottish authors did extremely well. The event was Judged in early December and followed by an Exhibition back at Birmingham in St Martin's Church in the Bullring with the opening and awards presentation day being held on Saturday 3rd February 2023 to which many successful authors were able to attend. A number of those authors are represented in the photos below.
Sponsors again presented their own prizes to their chosen prints. As only 60 prints from 60 authors are accepted, it is always a very tightly fought event with 968 prints entered from 231 entrants.
Congratulations go to the following successful Scottish authors who gained acceptances – Kirsten Bax, Ian Mitchell, Maybeth Jamieson, Gordon Rae, Martin Watt, Rikki O'Neill, David Moyes, Ruth Hayton, Margaret Elliot and Michele Campbell. Congratulations also to David Moyes who won a PAGB Silver Medal for one of the Judges Choices with his print 'The Eye'. One SPF photographer managed to make it 6 Masters of Print out of 6, a great achievement, so well done to Maybeth Jamieson of Dumfries!
