Photo Competition

Photographic Competition

When out and about we often come across some interesting executions of our crafts. From the number of previous entries to our annual competition, we know eye-catching examples of tiling, roof tiling or slating, or brickwork abound – good, bad, picturesque or unusual.

With a worldwide remit, the Company encourages you to take photographs of whatever catches your eye or imagination. It must fit into one of our three crafts and the image you capture with your phone or digital camera will be judged both on the quality of the photograph taken and the interest found in the subject matter itself.

It is worth bearing in mind that several factors can affect the quality of your photograph: light, composition, focus, resolution, reflection, camera shake etc. We will be looking for photographs that will reproduce well in print.

There are chances to win a bottle of champagne for photographs related to each of our three trades. The winning photographs will be published in the newsletter in October 2022. All entries, as many as you wish, should be sent as images by 31 December 2021 to the Chairman of the Craft Committee, Court Assistant David White with details of the subject matter taken. (eg: date and place).

Last year’s submissions were again of a high standard and the winners were announced at the virtual Common Hall in February 2021, with bottles of Champagne having to wait for award at the Triennial Luncheon. The 2020 winning photographs are shown here:
