Junior Club Competition Winners Nov 2025

Laetitia Chandler from George Camera Club is our November winner!

Laetitia, congratulations on your winning image – A better view

Laetitia says:

The owls were breeding in an old Oak tree at Fancourt and Schalk and Daleen Engelbrecht invited us to photograph the chicks. The morning we arrived, only one of the chicks was in the nest. One disappeared and one was sitting in the flowerbed close to the pathway. He was my lucky shot! Soon after breakfast, he also disappeared.

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.  

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 Junior Club Competition Winning Image of the Year is selected.

 
 

HOW TO UPLOAD YOUR CLUB’S WINNING IMAGE TO PHOTOVAULT

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.
