DS White Trophy

Paul Mitchell judged our panels of images for the DS White Trophy and the winner was Richard Ramsay with his eye-catching trio of ‘Expressions’. Paul was impressed by the choice of subject that balanced so well as a panel with a range of emotion shown and a symmetry that had been well thought out and executed giving a cohesive top quality to the colourful printed panel.

The Wiltshire Trophy is awarded for the Wiltshire Landscape best print shot in Wiltshire. Congratulations to Rachel Allcock who came first with her image ‘Cathedral What Cathedral’’ portraying the Cathedral in glorious light from her perspective as seen from the Mill looking over the water meadows.
