Next Wednesday is the climax of the competitive projected image year with the Annual Projected Image competition, which is being judged by Martin Fry FRPS APAGB EFIAP/b AV-FIAP. Martin is a well known speaker and both national and international judge (he'll be one of the judges for the Bristol Salon next year) so we can expect a thoroughly entertaining evening. .

Well done to Steve Field who had 5 prints accepted in the recent Hoylake International Exhibition.
Salon acceptances: BPS photographers are now achieving large numbers of salon acceptances and constraints on time and space mean we can't include them all. So please only advise of awards or other milestones.
Contrary to popular belief, I do not possess psychic powers and need you to tell me if you've had successes. If you want to blow your own trumpet (or someone else's), then this is the place to do it. Please let me know and I'll include details in a future issue.
