The Gibraltar Photographic Society

The Gibraltar Photographic Society will be holding its Annual Competitive Exhibition from Monday 7th June to Friday 25th June 2010. The official opening of the Exhibition will be at 7.00 pm on Monday 7th June, and the opening will be carried out by the His Excellency the Governor, Sir Adrian Johns. Sir Adrian will also be presenting the trophies to the winners from the different sections.

The Exhibition is divided into three sections: Section A consists of monochrome prints; Section B is dedicated to work by beginners; Section C consists of colour prints. In all three sections prints are entered as individual prints or as sets of three. This year there has been a very good response from members in all three sections, and the standard of the work exhibited augurs well for the future of the Society, and of creative Photography in Gibraltar.

The Adjudicator this year is Trevor Gellard FRPS, from the Royal Photographic Society of Great Britain. This is his first visit to Gibraltar and he will be judging the entries during the course of Friday 4th June. During the evening of Friday 4th, he will be delivering an illustrated talk on his work at the Society's premises at Wellington Front. The talk will start at 8.00 pm and is entitled "Brighton and beyond". This talk is open to the general public and all are welcome to attend. On the evening of Tuesday 8th June, at 8.00 pm, he will be giving a critical appraisal of the exhibition itself at the John Mackintosh Hall. Once again members of the public are very welcome to attend.
