L&CPU Novice Cup 2021

We cordially invite you and your club to take part in the L&CPU 5th Novice Cup Event which is taking place on Sunday 10th October 2021 at the Elmbank Conference Centre, Half Edge Lane, Eccles, M30 9BA commencing at 10.00am. 2012(Doors open from 9.30am).

This event is designed to promote competitions and distinctions to club members who might not normally get involved in the Union’s annual competitions. Everyone is welcome to attend this event, but only club members who currently do not have any photographic qualifications or accreditations are eligible to enter the competition via their club Competition Secretary.
It is hoped that authors will attend to support their club entry and be inspired by the talks to be given by L&CPU members who have recently been through the L&CPU or PAGB mentoring service to help them achieve their CPAGB or DPAGB awards.

Lytham St Annes Virtual Photoshow

“Once again due to the Covid situation The Lytham St Annes Photographic Society has been compelled to abandon its physical Photoshow but we are delighted to invite you to visit our Virtual Photoshow instead.

There was a limited print entry and members were asked to supply prints as unmounted A4s. These were judged by Rod Wheelans MPAGB, MFIAP, FRPS, FIPF, HonPAGB, HonSPF  from the Dumfries Camera Club and he made 35 awards from the 88 submitted prints.

Digital copies of all 88 prints are presented in the virtual show.

Pauric McGroder ARPS, AIPPVA, FIPF of the Dublin Camera Club judged our Digital Sections and he made 37 awards from the 227 PDIs. All the 227 images are presented in the virtual show.

Both the prints and the PDIs were competitively entered into the usual five categories of Mono, Nature, Open, Portraits (People) and Scapes.
