Rapson Cup 2018
Another fantastic set of images in this years competition with 46 entries, which means a total of 138 images were presented. The judge was looking for a combination of technical merit and artistic impression and how each image stands up, along with how each panel works together.
First place goes to Richard Lawrence for “Young Holly”, second place went to Richard Squires for “The Encounter” and third place was taken by Bina Fellowes for “Who got the joke”… all worthy winners!

Chairman's Cup
This year’s “Chairman’s Cup” theme was set last year as “The Working Farm”, the key part being that the image should show some form of work being performed.
This year’s winner was Helen Moore who took a fantastic shot of a farmer caring for his sheep, second place goes to Tim Gilbert for a long exposure showing a combine harvester at work, and third place was Richard Lawrence with his stunning black and white shot showing the farmers collecting their hay in the dead of night.
