Tomorrow evening is our final and most prestigious competition of the year, the annuals. Consisting of best colour, mono, nature, portrait and table top. Looking forward to seeing everyone’s fantastic images, I think the judge will have a tough job as the standard of images has been outstanding throughout this year.
