To perpetuate the memory of our late member Alice Black, the club has introduced the ‘Alice Black Memorial Trophy’ to be contested each year on a perpetual basis.
At each month’s Aggregate Competition the judge will select an image from all those entered as the monthly Alice Black Image – they will use their own criteria to select the image regardless of the score given. All images submitted in the Aggregate Competition have the potential to become a possible winner of the Trophy as there is no restriction on the grade of the entrant or the medium in which the image is presented.
For August 2018 the Alice Black has been awarded to John Stewart for his print “Dawn over the mudflats”. This image was entered in the Salon Grade colour Open Print section.
Our judge, Peter Granfield, commented “How do you create a stunning image from mudflats – like this. A technically amazing image that even has an intriguing story line on the horizon.A perfect blend from foreground to horizon, all sharp and no overlapping components.”
