Talented photographers rewarded

THE photography and exhibition competition held during the Emerald PAVE festival was again a well-supported success.
Presented by the Emerald U3A, the initiative drew a host of talented entrants from far and wide.
The competition was co-judged by local professional photographer Susan Gordon-Brown and local well-known artist John Dudley.
Winner of the Open Section was Margaret Thomson with her evocative image Silent Sentinal while the Youth Section was taken out by Ririn Destria Fitri from Emerald Secondary College with Birdy.
Most encouraging was the entry level for the Youth Section with 40 photographs entered.
The U3A People’s Choice award was won by Paul Gallant with Toadstools.
U3A would like to acknowledge the on-going support given to this annual exhibition by Emerald Arts Society.
