Congratulations to all of the winners of this year’s Nature Competition. As can be seen below, the standard of work was exceptional and the volume of entries was significantly increased on previous years.
A huge thank you to Hotel Kilkenny who provided the excellent venue and facilities for the Nature Finals.
Many thanks to Bermingham Cameras for their very generous sponsorship of a number of gift vouchers for winners of each section.
Much thanks also to Picturk – who powered the online entry system for this competition and provided countless hours of work both at national and regional levels to ensure things ran smoothly at the finals.
A big thank you to Kilkenny Photo Society for hosting the finals, especially Dave Barrie who organised the national finals and has put in a considerable effort ensuring the competition was run smoothly.
A special thanks to Niamh Whitty for keeping a critical eye on the score keeping and awards.
To Des Clinton, thank you for stepping in to judge at the last moment and providing invaluable and useful advice.
Prints have been returned via your region, with top scoring images retained temporarily by IPF for potential use to represent Ireland at international competitions. A list of retained images will be available soon.
For those award winners who weren’t present at the weekend, a representative of your club has your award if a representative was present, if not, we’ll be in contact shortly to arrange to get it to you.
