Congratulations to all, and special mentions to Georgina and Steve who repeated their respective IOTY wins of last year, with Georgina taking the overall prize this time. Also to Brian Green, who was runner-up in his first season taking part in the print competition.
It was close at the top of the digital competitions all season, and although the winning margin was seven points, only 14 points separated the eight top-scoring members.
Well done to everyone for some stunning images and excellent progress, as was noted by several of our judges last season.
The new season begins on Wednesday 10th September and competitions are just a part of what we do. Come along and find out more!
