BSoUP's Open Portfolio Competition 1990

Winner - Mike Wong

by Brian Pitkin

At the December 1990 meeting of the Society we held our annual Open Portfolio Competition. This event is open to any member, irrespective of whether he or she has won a place in a major competition.

Entries had to comprise six 35 mm slides taken anywhere in the world underwater, except in a tank or aquarium.

Images which had previously won a place in a major competition were ineligible. The idea of this competition is to see new and exciting images, not the same award winning shots.

All slides had to be mounted in Gepe glass mounts and spotted in the bottom left hand corner when the slide is the right way up and the right way round. All six slides were projected simultaneously.

All portfolios were projected twice and the audience present invited to vote for their favourite three. A total of 16 portfolios were entered.

Third place with 70 points went to LINDA PITKIN. Her portfolio comprised three wide-angle scenic shots, two close-ups and one macro shot.

Second place with 72 points went to DAVID NARDINI. His portfolio comprised two wide-angle scenic shots, and four close-ups.

The winner with 73 points was MIKE WONG. His portfolio comprised two double compositions, one wide-angle shot, two close-ups and one macro shot. Mike was awarded a cash prize of £50.
