PHOTO COMPETITION - Malahide Has It – Capture It!
Malahide Photo Competition - Winners
Three local Malahide organisations – the Lions Club, the Camera Club and the Festival Committee - combined to organise a photo competition with the theme “Malahide Has it – Capture IT”. Contestants were asked to take their photographs between midnight 22 July and midnight 24 July. Each contestant was allowed to enter up to five pictures. There were two sections – Under 18 (Junior) and Adult.
Over 90 photographs were entered via e-mail and they were judged by a panel of experts from the three organising bodies. All entries were kept anonymous to ensure impartial judging. The criteria for judging were:
- Compliance to Theme
- Creativity
- Technical Ability
- Composition
Last Thursday, the winners were presented with their prizes by Joe Gunning (President Malahide Lions Club) at a special ceremony in Malahide Library. A specially invited audience turned up to admire the photographs and applaud the winners. |
