    13th Finland Circuit 2021

    Wow! So this is a 5 salon circuit each with 3 sections, but must count as one of my best results in international competition.

    That’s an average of over 6 images per salon – more than 50% acceptance rate.

    I was also given two Bronze Medals and a Honorable Mention. 11 out of my 12 images were accepted across the board and I narrowly missed out on the prestigious FIAP Blue Badge for the Vihti Salon coming equal second with 9 acceptances.
