We were delighted to welocome back Aleks Gjika EFIAP/s DPAGB BPE1, the current Chair of the Cheltenham International Salon of Photography, to judge our first competition of the 2026-27 Season. The competition attracted 32 DPI and 20 Print entries enabling Aleks to spend time critiquing every image providing fair, insightful and helpful comments throughout. We saw a range of subjects with some excellent nature and landscape images which are likely to form the basis of our external competition portfolio in the future.

At the end of the evening 17 different members received recognition for their submissions with four members receiving awards in both competition categories
