Digital Competition (Open), Thursday 2nd February 2006
Judge - Dr Chris Nicholls

A significant milestone in the history of our society was our first digital competition. Many of us have used digital cameras for years, but this was our first digital only competition with entries on CD or by email. Our secretary Chris Nicholls has donated a new Digital Trophy to the society which this year will be won by the best entry in this competition. Chris also judged this competition (his first) in a friendly and often humorous but very accomplished and professional manner which we all enjoyed immensely. On behalf of all the members - thank you very much Chris.

Congratulations to Chris Caley whose entry "Hands" was awarded first place and wins the Digital Trophy.
