The 75th Bristol International Salon of Photography – Feb2021
This was the first time I’ve entered the Bristol Salon, With almost 950 entrants and over 12,500 images from 58 countries, this is the biggest Salon I’ve entered, so was very pleased to have received the most acceptances (10) in to one single Salon I have achieved to date, including all four of my entries in to the Scapes section. So with 22 acceptances in the three FIAP Salons I’ve entered, I’m over half way to meeting the criteria for AFIAP award now 🙂
