The 2022 Salon has now closed, Last weekend saw the team of Selectors hard at work but the work was worth it.

Results emails are now being sent out, but please be patient if you have any acceptances.  Do not flood the BPE with requests for Crown Awards as they are yet to receive their copies of the data.

Thank you for all who took part, congratulations for those with Acceptances and commiserations to those (like myself) who didn’t make the grade.

The standard of images was exceptional and the award winners were well deserved.

Well done to all the organising committee, we couldn’t do it without you.

Our 2021 Salon has now been judged and all the results published.

Neath CC was well represented by entrants but unfortunately only 3 people gained acceptances.  These were – 

Tim Kavanagh – with 3 Acceptances and 3 Medals

David Edwards – with 3 Acceptances

Colin Kelly – with 1 acceptance and Medal

Commiserations to all other members of NDPS who entered but didn’t gain any acceptances, keep trying and i’m sure your time will come.

The Salon this year was our most successful to date with over 500 entrants submitting over 5000 images.

Because of the Covid restrictions we had to do the selections remotely and a big thanks goes out to Steve Bright of Brightimaging who leases us the software and once again hosted the Salon on our behalf.

Thanks also go to our 3 selectors – Eddy Lane ARPS DPAGB EFIAP APAGB, Leigh Woolford Hon.FWPF DPAGB EFIAP AWPF BPE3* and Ross McKelvey MFIAP MPAGB FBPE FIPF EFIAP/p who gave up their weekend to view and judge the images, a job well done.

Thanks to the PAGB and the BPE for their patronage.

I also want to say thanks to Denice Evans, Linda Cowen  and David Edwards for their invaluable assistance.  This Salon would not run without you.
