Judging of the 45th Dunedin Festival of Photography took place on Saturday 27th September and the results have been emailed to all entrants. Congratulations to everyone who had images accepted and those who received awards. We had a large number of entries and overall the standard was high. We cannot accept everything and many good images had to be rejected; if you did not succeed this year we encourage you to enter again next year.
The accepted prints and a slideshow of accepted projected images will be exhibited at the Dunedin Community Gallery from Tues 21st – Mon 27th October. There will be an official opening on Monday 20th, with invitations to be emailed to entrants shortly.

Monday night’s meeting was action packed, with the AGM, Spring Print Exhibition and the Projected Image of the Month. The AGM saw the appointment of Kate Burton as the new President of the Society. Kate takes over the role from John Casey who steps down after a two year term – John also held the position for another two year term several years ago. The council and members of the society thank John for all the time and effort he has put into leading the society during his term as President.
This is Kate’s first time as President of DPS, or any society for that matter, and she is looking forward to the opportunity. She will have the support of all members as she takes on this role, and especially that of the council. We look forward to the next meeting when Kate will take up her position as President.
After the AGM the Spring Print Exhibition was held and Paul Sorrell (Natural History) and Alan Dove (Open) were on hand to provide comments on the accepted prints. Congratulations to Emiko Cowell, a relatively new member, who was awarded the Champion Open Print, and Craig McKenzie who was awarded the Champion Natural History Print.
The Dunedin Photographic Society AGM will be held on Monday 22nd Sept at 7.30pm and it would be great to have as many members as possible attend. It will start after the monthly competition is shown and should go no longer than 1/2 hour with the Spring Print Exhibition to follow. Alan Dove has made the selection for the exhibition and he will be attending the meeting to give us his comments.
Also, don’t forget the projected image of the month subject is Abstract. Entries need to be emailed to Kevin by 7:00pm Sunday 21st Sept.
Entries close on Monday 8th September for the Spring Print Exhibition. Members may submit up to six entries in each of the OPEN and NATURAL HISTORY sections. The exhibition will be held on Monday 22nd September following the AGM.
