EAF Inter-Club Print Championship Report 2022

On Sunday 13th March, 17 clubs took part in the Print Championship at Fulbourn near Cambridge. With a change in the format this year, designed to encourage more clubs to take part, each club showed 15 images with all 15 images counting towards the final positions.

This year we had clear winners and the final results were:
Winning club gaining the EAF Trophy – Beyond Group

Runner up club gaining the Eric Saul Memorial Trophy – Photographic Imaging Co-operative (PICO)

Third placed club receiving a certificate – Chelmsford Camera Club

Both Beyond Group and Ware & District Photographic Society have an automatic invitation to represent the EAF at the PAGB Print Inter-Club Championship in October 2022, so in addition, PICO and Chelmsford will be invited. It is a good event, and our representives would welcome some support. Tickets need to be bought in advance from the PAGB website.

Many thanks to everyone who helped to make the day possible - the clubs, the executive, their spouses and friends, and of course the three judges.

The judges selected the following images as their personal choices and their joint choice as the best image in the Championship:
