PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
Welcome to the 2025 Sony National Exhibition Catalogue.
It is my pleasure to present this year’s exhibition, made possible once again through the generous support of our long-time partner, Sony New Zealand. Their commitment allows us to continue hosting this event in its traditional format, and we are truly grateful for their ongoing support.
After years of disruptions, it is especially rewarding to bring this exhibition to the PSNZ membership in its fullest form once again. I sincerely appreciate the patience and dedication of our members throughout these challenges.
A heartfelt thank you goes to our team of exhibition selectors, who have generously contributed their time and expertise to curate this collection. I also extend my deep appreciation to the volunteers of the Nelson Camera Club, whose efforts in hosting the print selection weekend and successfully hanging the exhibition have been invaluable—especially alongside their responsibilities in hosting the 2025 national convention. A special acknowledgment also goes to Annette Johnston FPSNZ, Councilllor for Salons, for her dedication and hard work.
To our members, congratulations to all whose images were accepted, and especially to those who received awards. I hope this exhibition inspires and encourages you in your own photographic journey.
