Hi everyone, just a short post from me today to share with you some awards I was given at the Photography Group of Bunbury end of year awards night last week. Please forgive me for some blatant self-promotion :)
The photography group meets once a month, and each month topics are set for members to enter. These are judged by independent judges. Some of the topics images are projected onto a screen and some are print images.
Below are my gold, silver and bronze awards from the year, If you have Facebook you can see them better over there: Life Images by Jill on Facebook
I was thrilled to win the Consistency Award for the most images entered over the year, and was 2nd place for the Photographer of the Year. This is awarded based on points given for number of images entered, plus points for each months Gold, Silver and Bronze awards. It was actually a close tussle between 1st, 2nd and 3rd place, and 1st was awarded on a countback.
I was also awarded three Highly Commended Colour Images, as judged by eminent and highly acclaimed Western Australian photographer, Christian Fletcher, whose work I have always admired. So I was thrilled that he liked these three images. His comments are in the bottom right hand corner. Thank you Christian Fletcher.
It what has been a difficult year for me physically, and I guess mentally, with my two injuries, operations, and recoveries, these awards have really ended my year well. I thank everyone who has supported me along the way, especially my husband who has been my right hand everything man this year.
I was also awarded 2nd place at the 2020 South West Virtual Arts Spectacular back in May for my spices image, and also a Highly Commended for an autumn scene.

Really like the flow and mystery of dancing in the dark, but the Icegueen has something really compelling! The spices image is really attractive. My goodness Jill, with so many awards/prizes I am glad you showed All Seasons. We are privileged to have you on board! Smiling that you already think about subjects for next year:) Have an inspiring week, Jesh
