Junior Club Competition Winners November 2023

Sonja Olivier from Edenvale Photographic Club is our November winner!

Sonja, congratulations on your winning image – Old World Vulture

Sonja says:

On my first trip to Giants Castle I had the privilege of capturing these magnificent creatures from the famous Lammergeier Hide.

On this particular day in the Drakensburg, the light was so beautiful. The birds with their incredible wingspan and “Old World” beauty, stole a little piece of my heart. Truly unforgettable to witness.

Our 1st Runner-up is Nicky Forbes from Westville Camera Club with “Hummingblur”

Our 2nd Runner-up is Thorsten Siwitza from Knysna Photographic Society with “Jonny Cash”

Thank you to the judges:

Hanli Smit from Edenvale Camera Club

Kim Stevens from Cape Town Photographic Society

Jeroen Luyk from Krugersdorp Camera Club

HOW DOES THIS COMPETITION WORK?

This is a PSSA monthly competition where clubs enter their monthly Senior winner onto Photovault. Appointed judges select the winning image. The monthly winner gets displayed on the home page of our Web site for the duration of the month.

For the Junior Club Competition Winner of the Month, a club representative (ideally the Chairperson) submits the Junior club winner via Photovault at www.photovaultonline.com.

Frequently we do require high resolutions of these images as PSSA use them for Print Exhibitions to promote PSSA as well as showcasing the work being done around the country.

At the end of the PSSA calendar year (30 June of each year) the Senior Club Competition Winning Image of the Year is selected.
