The Steps Mike B

SW Region members competition

The competition has been judged by Andy Moore, Distinctions Manager at RPS House.

I am pleased to announce the winner is Mike Bondartschuk with his image "The steps" which is now the header image on this page.

Andy wrote a few comments:

Thanks for asking me to judge, it was a great distraction to look at some images. There are some really strong images and it came down to three images, but in the end, the one that stood out for me, was the steps. Not sure what the authors intention was, but for me, it symbolised the dark places we have been, and what steps we have had to take, but also there is light, and hope, and that is why the image worked for me, so congratulations, a worthy winner.

The original rules were:

There is no theme, anything goes, phone photography, cameras or digital art, but it must have been made during the lockdown, ie after 23rd March. You may enter up to 2 images, emailed to: southwestweb@rps.org

They need to be no more than 1000pixels at the longest edge and each image should be titled please, author names will not be shown.

When received they will be shown on this page and the winner announced in early June.

The closing date will be 31st May, after which it will be judged and the best image, in the opinion of the judge, will be awarded a small prize.
