The Welsh Photographic Federation
Undeb Ffotograffig Cymru
The PAGB Inter Federation Competition took place on Saturday 3 June and was organised by Lancashire & Cheshire Photographic Union.
The Competition was for prints in three categories: Mono Prints, Colour Prints and Nature Prints. The judges were: Jenny Hibbert MPAGB EFIAP/g AWPF, Roger Parry ARPS MPAGB EFIAP HonPAGB and Nick Hilton DPAGB EFIAP/b BPE5.
The results of this Competition as judged by Leo Rich are: –
1st – In the Light – Glenn Porter – Gwynfa
2nd – Free as a Bird – Neville Thomas – Afan Nedd
3rd – Ice Cream Treat – Tina Conyard – Carmarthen
HC – Freedom from COVID – Jo Ashburner – Afan Nedd
HC – A Time to Dream – Paul Branchflower – Afan Nedd
Afan Nedd doing particularly well!
I must say that just listening to Leo’s appreciation of the pictures without wondering what the scores were was particularly refreshing and his comments were kind and on point.
Thanks for your support – much appreciated!

We came joint 10th with an average of 11.867 points out of a maximum of 15. I should like to thank all those photographers who provided images for the WPF to use – but in particular I should like to congratulate:
Emma Woodhouse of RPC whose image “Fighting Gulls” which earned a PAGB Ribbon and score 15 points and
Susan Carter of Monmouth CC whose image “Grizzly Bear with Salmon” which earned a PAGB Ribbon and scored 14 points and
Neville Thomas of Afan Nedd CC whose image “Vietnamese Mossy Frog” which earned a PAGB Ribbon and scored 14 points!
Apologies for our initial error in saying that Emma Woodhouse was from a different club. It has now been corrected.

Huge congratulations to Gwynfryn Jones of Gwynfa CC who received an acceptance in the 2021 the Master of Print competition with his print “Social Distancing”, see below.
We believe Gwynfryn to be the only successful WPF entrant this year. It is his third acceptance in three years in a competition limited to only 60 acceptances. Well done indeed.
14-17 March, 2020.
Details will follow in due course.
