Bill Dunn Memorial Competition for Creative Photography

This event was held at The Parkway social club on Tuesday 16th April 2019 and was judged by Chris Palmer FRPS  EFIAP  DPAGB  APAGB.  There were 15 prints and 43 PDIs entered by members of various clubs  in the local area.

The competition is held in memory of Bill Dunn FRPS who was a highly creative worker, long before digital techniques had been popularised.

Chris Palmer gave his opinion on everyone's work before holding back quite a few images for further consideration and then coming to a final decision.
