Midphot 2021 Fri 29th & Sat 30th Jan

[peterw]

This year's Midphot AV Championships will take place on Friday 29th and Saturday 30th January.

There are 46 entries with seven from Beacon, from Jon Lloyd, Nick Browne, Sue Warner and myself. This is the first time you can watch the competition from the comfort of your own home and a great opportunity to see what other people are producing.

I am sure there will be high standard and it will be well worth watching. There are two competitions being judged by three judges: Open and Photo Harmony.

The programme is:

Beacon Wins!!

This was a great success for Beacon. We had 7 entries out of 46 from Nick Browne, Jon Lloyd, Sue and Peter Warner.

'North of 64' by Nick Browne - Winner of the Photo Harmony competition
'If I knew you were coming' by Jon Lloyd - Received a Judges Award Ribbon (equivalent of Highly Commended) in the Open competition
'hard as iron...' by Peter Warner - Received Commended in the Photo Harmony competition

Also entered:
'Lockdown' by Jon Lloyd
'Bournemead' by Sue Warner
England below me' by Sue Warner
Riders on the storm' by Peter Warner

Nick is the first winner of a Midphot competition from Beacon and, I think, the first ever Beacon winner of any Midphot competition. He was also second in the Audience Vote of the combined competitions.

Beacon had more authors winning awards than any other club in the Midlands, our best showing to date.
