The 2019 Alice Black Winner – “Pointing Heavenward” by Peter Matthews
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 the 2019 Competition Year the Alice Black Trophy has been awarded to Peter Matthews for his image “Pointing Heavenward”. This was the March 2019 Alice Black image. Congratulations Peter.
