Thank you to everyone who entered the competition this year. The theme was ‘The Odd One Out’ and our two winners were:
A nice idea from Paul and good juxtaposition. Each image in the composite is lit well, and the overall effect makes a strong image with impact. Congratulations, Paul!
A good spot by Elodie, capturing the dandelion growing amongst the buttercups. Although the resolution of the image was on the low side, we can forgive this for junior entries when the subject and composition fit the theme. Well done, Elodie!
The theme was inspired by this image, which apparently caused distress to some visitors – apologies to anyone who was triggered!
The rules of the competition were as follows:
As always, there will be two age categories: Junior (15 years old and younger) and Senior (16 years old and older).
Images will be judged on the following criteria:
- Impact
- Lighting
- Composition
We will print and display as many entries as we can for visitors to enjoy, and move to a digital display of images if we run out of space…
Winners will take home a £50 cash prize and a coveted Melbourn Fete gold medal!
