The ICPA Annual follows, held in camera and organised by us this year. Three competition and 10 images in each. Colour prints, mono prints and pdi's.
Our entry has been made and I will publish it after our Image of the year internal competition. We are holders of the Mono comp and finished 2nd overall last year.
Lastly the Ted Coleman has been put back to late August so nothing to say at this time. We are yet to select our entry for this one. We are holders of this.
