I was thrilled when I received the WPF results from the FIAP Colour Biennial, held in Greece.
We did so well to achieve 2 Medals; a FIAP Silver Medal to Tom Dee from Afan Nedd, with “Cuddles in the Coal Bunker” and a HPS Gold Medal for the Best Journalism to David Hopes from Bridgend & District camera club for “Number 18 Being Chased”. Congratulations to them both.
The WPF report card can be seen here.
Thanks to everyone who sent images, this is very much appreciated.

A number of PSA members in the WPF have been accumulating acceptances and awards in International Exhibitions recognised by the Photographic Society of America. Modesty prevents many from broadcasting their successes.
Hot off the press news are the results of the Golden Tiger Circuit in Malaysia where Gary Shinner had 27 acceptances with 6 awards including a Gold medal and Ian Ledgard 18 acceptances with 3 awards including a Gold medal.
There may be other WPF members who entered this Exhibition who have also had success but we will not know until the catalogue is published.
I hope that this will encourage more WPF photographers to enter PSA recognised exhibitions and raise the profile of Welsh photography. I am happy to assist and answer questions for any who may be interested to do so.

PAGB Awards for Photographic Merit – Trial of Two New Levels
In response to demand from Individuals, Clubs and Federations, the PAGB is introducing, on a trial basis, two new ways to achieve an Award for Photographic Merit.
This year’s PAGB Inter-Federation Competition is, again, for prints only and our entries have been chosen from submissions to the Memorial Competitions and the Welsh Salon, together with photographs sent directly to Jenny Hibbert, who chose the majority of our entries. The lists of entries can be found below.
Congratulations to all the photographers whose work has been selected to represent the Federation. Now we await the adjudication which takes place over the weekend of 3 & 4 June. Watch this space!
