The 2026 Memorial competitions were held on 21 February at Dingestow Village, Hall, Dingestow, Monmouth. NP25 4BH. Our very grateful thanks go to Monmouth Photography Club who hosted the event with enthusiasm and efficiency.
The judge was Ralph Snook ARPS DPAGB EFIAP/s. He judged the prints and PDI’s with skill and helpfulness. His focus was on looking into the pictures instead of just looking at them. He was only concerned about technical matters when such errors got in the way of a photograph’s message.
18 clubs participated. Unfortunately, one club had submitted a monochrome print in the colour print competition; it scored zero, as a result.
The results were:
Walter Morgan Trophy for PDIs
First – Bargoed Camera Club
Second – Monmouth Photographic Club
Third – Gwent Camera Club
Individual Scores here.
Past Presidents’ Trophy for Colour Prints
First – Monmouth Photographic Club
Second – Baglan Bay Photographic Society
