Junior Club Competition Winners Nov 2024

Sonja Olivier from Edenvale Photographic Club is our November winner!

Sonja, congratulations on your winning image – Duckling

Sonja says:
When going away was not possible, early Spring brought the joy of ducklings at the stream in our residential complex. With no rain at the time, the water level was still low, and it enabled me to stand at a lower level than the ducklings. Pure joy to watch them play, especially the little yellow one, amongst it’s darker siblings, young Mallards.

My camera settings were:

Exposure : f/7.1, 1/500 sec, ISO 800
Focal Length : 500 mm

Our 1st Runner-up is Priscilla Botha from Randburg Fotoklub with “What is he thinking of””
Our 2nd Runner-up is Marené Meyer from Bosveld Fotografieklub with “Protected Flame”

Thank you to the judges:

Johan Drotsky – Bethal Fotografieklub
Anton la Grange – Mosselbay Camera Club
Annemarie Robertson – Port Elizabeth 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.

Click here to download instructions on how to upload your entry onto Photovault

All images must be original and must not incorporate elements produced by anyone else. By virtue of submitting an entry, the clubs must certify all the work in the entered image as their club member’s own. The PSSA Director of Competitions has the right to ask for the RAW files.

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.
