Photo Competition
Pitchcare’s Photo Gallery Competition attracted record entries in its second year
The ‘skies’ the limit!
The Pitchcare Photo Gallery Competition was launched in March 2013 and, from day one, captured the imagination of the artistic amongst you.
2014 saw a record number of submissions - over four hundred - and the task of choosing four to shortlist for final voting each month was never easy.
Some of the images were clearly taken by experienced photographers, whilst others simply pointed their camera or smart phone to stunning effectiveness. Our task was to select those that captured the essence of the particular monthly theme rather than competence behind the camera. After all, some of the best images are often those taken in haste or by simply being in the right place at the right time.
Once we had our shortlisted four, it was then down to the Pitchcare members to choose their favourite each month.
Each monthly winner received a £100 voucher to spend in the Pitchcare shop, with the overall winner grabbing themselves a prize of photographic equipment to the value of £500.
Final judging was undertaken by professional photographer, Dave Whiteman ABIPP, who was formerly Instructional Officer at the Defence School of Photography, DCAE Cosford, who commented; “Once again, the standard was high. My three choices were based on shot difficulty, composition and exposure, with the overall winner being a particularly stunning example.”
The 2015 Photo Gallery Competition
A new format for the 2015 Photo Gallery Competition was launched at the beginning of February.
Thank you for your continued support and we will look forward to seeing more inspiring photography in the coming year!
