Each of the 3 judges allocated marks of betweeen 2 and 5 for each image. The acceptance mark for the General category was 11 and above and for the Nature category was 12 and above.

Roy Robertson HonFRPS, RPS President, said 'The winning images are outstanding, and I congratulate everybody who has work selected, in particular, the Award winners.'

Selector, Anne Sutcliffe FRPS, said 'I think this year’s award winning images share several important characteristics. They are universally of high quality and represent the best of their genre. All capture a decisive moment whether it is a sporting moment, a brief period of sympathetic light, a mood, or the culmination of the photographer’s creativity. Whatever the subject, the photographer’s empathy with it and their ability to show it to its best advantage shines through.'

All entrants will receive a copy of the Exhibition CD by 8th November and further copies wil be availalbe to purchase from The Society's online shop www.rps.org/store The CD can be used for showing at Camera Clubs and photographic events.
