RS Photo' Competition 2011 Winners
This
year's photo' competition
attracted 28 entries - 11, 7 and 10 in
categories A, B and C, respectively -
from 9 members representing 5 of the 7 branches. Judging
was undertaken on the Friday evening of the Annual Society Meeting.
Three volunteer judges, from different branches (SE, SW
and N), awarded each photograph a score independently and
electronically. A second vote was required to finalise
the winner and runner up in 2 of the 3 categories. All
members present then voted to select an overall winner
from the 3 category winners. Thanks go to all those who
entered the competition, the volunteer judges and John
Jones for supplying equipment and organising the
electronic voting. The results and the wining photo's
are given below. Congratulations to the winners and
runners up. The winning images and others submitted may
