Congratulations to All who entered the Competition - 30 people submitted about 150 photos! All photos taken after 1st July 2021.

Judge Ann O Meara has awarded 1st 2nd and 3rd in each class. There are also awards of Very Highly Commended, Highly Commended and Commended - there are multiple awards for some of these.
We don't list lots of rules for these competitions as we want them to be fun as well as somewhat competitive. This means people may interpret classes differently. This certainly was the case in class 10! The intention was that there should be 5 different fruits. However, I realised when all photos were in that that would not have been clear. So they were judged on basis of 5 fruit wheather same or different! Apologies to anyone I may have led astray!

Well Done Margaret Fitzpatrick who accumulated most points in this competition.
Runner Up was Paula Hore with Liz Fitzgerald in 3rd place.
