Print Competition Round 2

Print Competition Round 2

31/01/2026
Malling’s second Print Competition of the season was held on Tuesday January 27th at Malling Village Hall. Judged by Kevin Bell LRPS the revised marking system was employed which on this occasion raised a welcome quandary. Due to the high quality of all the images – and indeed the mounting and presentation thereof - a proposal was agreed to credit more than one image in each of the Gold Silver Bronze and Highly Commended categories. An unusual step one may say but one that was appreciated and endorsed by all present.
The images are presented herewith and demonstrate the challenge given to the judge.
Accordingly, results were as follows:-
Gold –
• Brown Bear, by James Alexander
• Sisters of the Burning Blade, by Paul Davison

Silver –
• In her Garden, by Alan Lomakin
• Time Out, by Alan Lomakin
• Fumbling Hands, by Colin Bristow

Bronze –
• Out of the Blue, by Colin Bristow
• Home before the Storm, by Alan Smith

Highly Commended –
• Amroth Beach, by Les Welton
• Rampart of the Riflemen Amsterdam, by Alan Smith
• Reculver, by Paul Davison
• Departing for a Night Mission, by Colin Bristow
• Blue Pumpkins, by Alan Smith
