Pim's Colour Photo Competition

OVER 200 entries were received for our Quarter-Century colour photo competition, and as a great majority of them were of high quality the task of the judges was unenviable.

As our primary purpose in run ning the competition was to obtain photos that we could reproduce for our Quarter-Century issue, our block-maker had to have the cast ing vote. For this reason, some of the transparencies that we were inclined to yearn over had to be put aside as it was considered that their delicate colouring would lose too much in reproduction.

We therefore now announce that the awards are as follows:

First Prize Award Of £25:

Colour transparency submitted by Dr. K. W. Todd, c/o Department of Health, Port Moresby, Papua. Sub ject: Mt. Hagen huntsman.
