'Lancashire Life' is actively promoting the work of photographers, both amateur and professional, within the county area. You may remember that Peter Guy has already been featured in the magazine this year. In the same vein, they are suggesting a photographic competition, in conjunction with Poulton Library, for images of the whole of Lancashire. More about this later.

The Festival Photographic Competition for local residents has now been judged and all the award winners notified. This competition is sponsored by Poulton-le-Fylde Festival Committee, who generously provide the prizes for the Junior Section. Selected entries from the competition will be on display in Poulton-le-Fylde Library from Saturday 23rd August until Friday 12th September 2008, as part of an Exhibition of work from Society members.

The winning entries of the Festival Competition are shown below:

Seeing Double wins the Festival Cup, and a year's free membership of the Society, for Steve Finn.

Puffin on Farne Island wins the Junior Competition for 13 year old Joshua Swales.

Photographer of the Year, John Forrest, receives his trophy from retiring Chairman Matt Roskell at the AGM in June 2008.

Peter Guy was presented with the Member of the Year trophy for long-standing service to the club.
