Annual Individuals Competition 2024 – full results

Following the conclusion of 2024 Annual Individuals Competition, the L&CPU are pleased to confirm final ‘scores on the doors’.

First of all a big thank you to your executive team members, who gave up their weekend (and I believe it was a sunny one!) to help run the Print and PDI sections – to run the print day we need at least 8 individuals in the room 😊

Many thanks to our judges, who scored a fantastic 3,198 PDI’s & prints over the 2 days of the competition.

So a big round of applause to

Mike Sharples MPAGB, ARPS, EFIAP, FBPE, MFIAP

Graham Walton DPAGB

Gordon Rae MPAGB, FIPF, ARPS

Unfortunately, the Young Photographer of the Year competition did not attract sufficient interest this year, so we were not able to run the competition.

The sections were :

Print	Colour	357
	Nature	280
	Mono	326
	Nature	654
	Open	1594

And a big thank you to everyone who entered, there would not be a competition without your entries 😊
