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.
This
year's Open Portfolio Competition unfortunately only attracted
eight entries. Each was projected twice and the audience present
invited to vote for their favourite three in order of preference.
Fourth
place with 32 points went to LEN DEELEY. Third place with
48 points went to PETER HEWITT. Second place with 50 points
went to ANDY PURCELL. The winner with 160 points was GEORGETTE
DOUWMA. Georgette was presented with a cheque for £50.
