End of Year Awards & Merry Christmas

Last night was our end of years awards night and party night. Over the last year we have had a terrific selection of photos put into our competitions. Each year sees the quality getting better and better. Just goes to show that we can all keep learning and improving.

The Melbourne Camera Club put together a panel of 6 judges to choose our photos of the year and we had the pleasure of three of them, Jim, Marg and Norman, coming along to present their results and generally say nice things about us. 

So, the winners were:

Print Aggregate

  • 1st - Brett Ferguson
  • 2nd - Cathy Buchanan
  • 3rd - Neil Anderson

Digital Aggregate

  • 1st - Brett Ferguson
  • 2nd - Arvin Coloma
  • 3rd - Leeanne Laidlaw

Print of the Year

  • Brett Ferguson - The Orange Peeler

Highly Commended Print

  • Phil Taylor - Afternoon tracks
  • Lisa Sandy - Big Foot
  • Cathy Buchanan - Workshop

Digital of the Year

  • Brett Ferguson - The beauty of light

Highly Commended Digital

  • Leeanne Laidlaw - Model Material
  • Neil Anderson - Santiago Hotel Foyer
  • Phil Taylor - Grounded

Congratulations to all our winners and to everyone who entered and made it difficult for the judges to choose.

I think that we have had a lovely year, mainly because the club members are a great group of people who make it fun to be a part of the club. And we learnt some photo stuff too!

Looking forward to seeing you all next year. But don't go thinking you won't be hearing from me before then.

Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year to all.

Judging: End of Year Awards & Dinner

Join us for a night of fun as we award our winners from the year. Awards are given for aggregate point winners and for the images of the year.

For the new members, we have spit roasted meats and salads brought into the Clubrooms. We have found that this works really well as it gives members a chance to chat prior to the EOY Awards presentations. You can bring along some wine/beer and some of the members bring a dessert to share.

Price for the meal is $18.00, please pay into our bank account by November 22nd, with your member number and name as reference: eg: 013Malbon
