Photographic Alliance of Great Britain - 27th Inter-Club Print Championships 2024
CPS qualified to enter this event by finishing in the final at last years event. There were 38 clubs qualified to enter one of which withdrew, leaving 37 participants.
We finished in 10th place in the qualifying round just missing out on gaining entry into the final by a single point. (Beyond Group just made it in one point ahead of us in joint 8th place)
Not qualifying for the final meant we were entered into the “Plate” competition, along with the other clubs that didn’t qualify for the final, 28 clubs in total.
We finished the “Plate” with 109 points in second place to Wrekin arts who won with 113 points.
The final was won by Catchlight Camera Club 206 pts from Arden Photographic Group and Smethwick Photographic Society who tied for second place on 204pts.
The judges gave very high scores to the prints, countless scoring the maximum of 15.
They awarded the Best Mono print to our own Jon Dadds for his “Jewish Museum, Berlin” for which he gained a trophy and Gold Medal, a brilliant result.
Marny Macdonald got a maximum score of 15 for her “Arctic Fox”
Colin Westgate also got a maximum of 15 for “Blind Pilgrim Varanasi”
Jon Dadds of course got a maximum score 15 for “Jewish Museum Berlin”
All in all, a super result for the club. Full results to follow when available
