Mold Camera Club Wins National Competition

 

Mold Camera Club have won their first National photographic competition, Pixels 2011, a competition between 33 clubs from all around the country, each submitting 4 images (2 of which had to be monochrome) from 4 different workers.

Held in Cardiff on Bonfire Night there was a nail-biting finish with Mold winning with the very last image shown, Wild Child by Mike Catania, which not only achieved a top score of 20, but won the Trophy for the best Monochrome Image and clinched the outright win by 1 point.

It is only the second occasion that a first-time entrant club has won this competition, however, it is the first time ever that a club from the North Wales Photographic Association has won this prestigious competition.

The other images used were Last Lap by Steve Jones, Mist Over Marine Lake by Helen Prince and Underground London by Andy Polakowski.

The other clubs from North Wales fared as follows: Eryri 8th, Wrexham 9th and Dwyfor 11th.

 

Andy Polakowski (External Competition Secretary) said “I find it extremely gratifying that Mold Camera Club has become so successful not just locally with its Community photography and involvement with local events but also nationally through its representation of North Wales in competitions such as the PAGB DPI Championship at Warwick and the success of its members individually in Exhibitions and AudioVisual Competitions. There is clearly something for everyone in Mold CC and room for all members, whatever their level, to develop”.

 

Chris Noble (Club Chairman) said “This is a fantastic achievement for the club and well deserved given the efforts put in by the members to improve our photography. It should be seen as a club achievement although special recognition needs to go to the 4 whose entries made up the successful entry, especially Mike Catania in winning an individual prize as well. Next season we celebrate our 50th year and it is achievements like this that will help see the club go on for another 50 years.”
