Sava 2022
I only entered 3 of the 5 sections, but I was very pleased to have had 7 acceptances in to this exhibition, including a first acceptance for “Meerkat On Evening Lookout” in the nature section as nature isn’t my strong area. Also a first acceptance for my Medusa image. I also experimented a little by entering monochrome versions of a couple of my sucessful colour images (Asian Girl and Devotion) and I was pleased to have had both accepted which will count towards PSA qualifications.

South Birmingham Salon – Image22
After a pretty disastrous day yesterday, I was over the moon to have had 7 acceptances in to the South Birmingham Salon, including all four of my entries being accepted in to the portraits section which is very pleasing since up to just a couple of years ago, I actively avoided taking pictures of people! I was also awarded a BPE Ribbon for Asian Girl.
This takes me to my second BPE Crown award, so I’m super chuffed – That’s 50 acceptances in to BPE exhibitions – On to BPE3 now? That’s going to be a pretty long haul I think!

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.
32 Acceptances!
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.
