Summary
Chorley hosted the event via Zoom. The judge was Paul Radden from East Anglia who provided a well balanced commentary on the images submitted.
He held back 15 images, 7 from Preston, 6 from Chorley and 2 from Leyland.
We then had a nail biting finish. With one Chorley and one Preston image left, our scores were level. Both images were scored 19 so we had a tie for the first time that any of us can remember.

Competition
An ’Open’ competition, so Nature restrictions did not apply. No more than 4 images from any author and all images cannot have been used before in a previous 3 way battle.
20 Projected Digital Images (PDI’s) from each team, each image scoring up to 20 in line with our scoring for internal competitions.
Chorley have set the benchmark by their policy of 1 image per member and I hope that Preston will be able to match this next year.
