2019-2020 Cunningham Cup

This year we have 15 entries for the Cunningham Cup and Neil Scott has the onerous task of assessing the entries. Individual images are scored out of 20 and the Panel is scored out of 40.  Scores for individual images count towards the end of season awards. Due to the extraordinary circumstances that prevail at the moment, we cannot meet to see and hear the results of the competition. To whet your appetite, the panel entries are shown below.  Once we get the scores from Neil, we will announce the winners and put the results up on this page.  Neil has also kindly agreed to provide written feedback and we will post that too, so we can all learn from Neil’s wisdom. Entries are as follows: Icelandic Sculptures The Waiting Game Harley Respect G&T Splash Swan Lake Bird Battle Angles The Highland Show Untitled Three Faces of Eve How Small We Are in The Face Of Nature White on Black Edinburgh Lamps The Octogenarians As-sruth Loch Ghiuthsachain (Outflow of the Loch of The Pine Forrests).

2018-2019 Cunningham Cup

The Cunningham Cup competition is for 3 images on a theme of the author’s choice. This is a competition for CD Group members. Each image is scored out of 20 and the set of 3 is scored out of 40 based on how well the images complement each other and work together as set. The winning panel was produced by Muriel Binnie with a stunning set of artistic images produced using ICM (intentional camera movement).  Well done Muriel.
