Braintree Shield Competition - 3rd March 2026
Judge: Barbie Lindsay
On Tuesday 3rd March we travelled south to Braintree for the Braintree Mono Challenge. The competition comprises six monochrome prints from each club. Five of our six prints were held back and the judge seemed to react very favourably to our work.
