BPC 2nd Annual Club contest - April 2009

On Monday, March 30 - our club had our 2nd annual photo competition. This was the 1st time we had used a different format where the membership would submit digital images and the judges would use the accepted GTCCC judging criteria.

The judging went very well. We had four (4) judges in total and three club exec to assist with the calculation of scores and comment capturing.

All were very encouraging and highly talented in their artistic fields. They were open and positive with comments. All found the overall quality of our members to be exceptional and forward thinking. Additional HMs, a Best Contemporary and Judges Choice awards were awarded on top of our club standard award practices.

Thank you - to all that help pull this together and a special thank you, to my good friend Maureen L for capturing the comments, Michael M who captured & tallied all the scores, Anthony G who helped me host and John W who assisted with collecting all the images.

The Judges:

1. Philip Sun - Toronto Guild
2. Simone Koffman - Toronto Guild
3. George Campbell - Don Mills
4. Ray Anderson
