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 October 2017 the Alice Black has been awarded to David Frazer for his image “Irasshaimase! Welcome to my store”.  This image was entered in the B Grade Set Subject “Travel”. The judge commented that the very subtle use of light draws the viewer slowly down through the image. At first it appears as a simple street scene, but then the passers by come into it, and give the image a whole new meaning.
