Last night was our first print competition of the season and the theme was 'Conversation' and of course the open. Our judge was our own Steve Wilcox.
There were various interpretations of ‘Conversations’, most going for human conversation but others choosing to interpret a possible conversation between animals. The open section, though smaller in number, brought us a variety of images as usual. Congratulations of course go to the winners, Wendy and Graham. Also to Nick and Martin Cumper who both had all three entries held back, Nick achieving 3rd place in the themed, and Martin 2nd in the Open. And well done to all those who achieved a top ten place.
