The first print competition of Twenty twenty-five was held back in March at St James church Hall Mapperley the home of the Nottingham Outlaws. 

Print competitions are run on a bi-monthly basis, through to the final round which is held in November and members scores are aggregated as the competition proceeds. The leader board following that first competition stood with Malcolm Nabarro in the lead, followed closely by Lester Woodward & in third place, Lois Webb.

The judge for this second-round print competition was Louise Langley who is a member of Long Eaton Photographic Society. There were two categories for Louise to judge, the Open category and the Themed category which in this instance was “Framing”. In total there were twenty-two entries in the Open category and twenty-nine in the themed.

The Outlaws photographic competition year is now in full swing and this is the second projected digital image (PDI) competition this year, with a further three rounds to follow ending in late October.

This month’s competition had nineteen entrants in the Open category and seventeen in the Themed, increasing entrant numbers indeed as members embrace the club competitions.

The current Outlaws PDI league standings (prior to this competition) has Lois Webb & Ray Andrews level on seventy-one points, Malcolm Nabarro, Sue Jackson & Nigel Stewart tying for second place on sixty-nine points, followed closely by Lester Woodward & Lloyd Dunkley on sixty-seven points.

Success for the Outlaws.

Lester has been crowned London Camera Exchange (LCE) Action Photographer of the Year 2025.

The competition is free to enter and consists of a number of different categories.

Ten Finalists are selected for each section, and a winning image is selected; these images are then judged to find an overall winner and runner-up.

The first print competition of 2025 was held at St James church Hall the home of the Nottingham Outlaws. The print competition is run on a bi-monthly basis, through to the final round which is in November and points scored by the entrants contribute to their position in the Outlaw’s print league table. 

The judge for this first round of the competition was Richard Houghton from Market Harborough who has judged at the club previously. There were two categories for Richard to judge, the Open category and the Themed category which in this instance was “Black & White”.

Richard gave a description of the criteria that he would be working to and it went like this, 1 Composition, 2 Focus, 3 Exposure, 4 Storytelling, 5 Impact (a WoW moment!) and finally 6 Impact on the judge.

In total there were twenty-seven entries in the Open category and twenty-nine in the Themed.
