But especially to our Judge for the day John Tilsley who whilst on his feet all day gave us an excellent appraisal of all the images and kept the audience in rapt attention throughout – Thanks John!

Welsh Photographic Federation Associate Assessment Day
6th November 2022 – Distinctions Secretary’s Report.

The AWPF assessment was held on the 6th November 2022, despite the awful weather we still had an audience of about 50 dedicated photographers and supporters many traveling hundreds of miles to attend, we are grateful for their support. We were unable to broadcast the event via Zoom.

There were 20 applications, for the 2022 AWPF award. 16 print submissions and 4 Digital submissions, unfortunately 11 candidates failed to reach the standard required to achieve a successful outcome. That is a pass rate of 45%.
Those 9 candidates that did achieve the high standard the award demands, are listed below.

Zoom licence available to WPF clubs

I’m pleased to announce that the WPF has purchased a Zoom Pro licence which it is making available to clubs from 6-Jul-20. It enables a meeting of up to 100 people for 24 hours which one of the WPF Executive will host (but almost certainly not for 24 hours). This will enable clubs, who have not yet put their toe in the waters of online meetings, to have a go and it will permit meetings of more people, without time constraints, compared with the free version of Zoom. There will be no charge for this service.

If you wish to take advantage of this, please send an email to wpfconf@gmail.com with “WPF ZOOM SESSION – CLUB & DATE” in the subject line/box. The email must specify the Date, Time and Duration of the requested meeting, together with Liaison contact’s name, email and phone number. We will reply by email and, if the license can be made available for that occasion, will confirm details and discuss any training or testing that may be necessary or useful.

The WPF Exec will be learning about this new initiative as we go and will announce any modifications as we find them necessary.
