This year the IPF is providing a new set of display stands for the competition. These new display stands will present the images at a slight angle outwards to the viewer and all mounts will be bottom aligned as shown in the picture. The mounted images will sit freely into trays and therefore there will no requirement to have any velcro or other sticky material to retain the mount to the stand. A change to the rules related to these longer stands, so please read them carefully.

May Distinctions Sitting

Nervous but exciting, the distinctions sitting will see photographers submit for three levels of assessment: Licenciateship, Associateship and Fellowship. Some of the work represents many years of carefully developed style and mastery, a joy to see. There will be beautiful photographic work on display and you can’t help coming away from a distinctions sitting with fresh ideas about photography and inspiration for your own creative projects. Best of luck to all the entrants preparing their work. The distinctions sitting takes place on Saturday May 14th at Mullingar Arts Centre (just around the corner from the Club Championships venue!). Associateship panels will be adjudicated first, followed by fellowships and concluding with licentiateships.

Saturday Dinner

We are looking forward to meet old friends and hopefully a few new friends at dinner on Saturday night in the beautiful Annebrook House Hotel. Dinner is intended to be a relaxed affair, and will be from 8pm. To book your place and view the menu, please fill out the reservation form now. The price is €25 per person for three course meal and if last years meal at this venue is anything to go by, we’re in for some wonderful food!

fiapFIAP Distinctions

We’ll be presenting the pins and certificates to all who were successful in their applications for FIAP distinctions this year just before we announce the results of the IPF Club Championships on Sunday May 15th.

Sunday Morning Lecture with Nick Scott

We’re delighted to welcome Nick Scott FRPS MPAGB APAGB EFIAP as our guest speaker on Sunday morning with his presentation – “Every Picture Has a Story”

The accomplished Nick Scott is a Fotospeed lecturer, RPS Distinctions and PAGB judge, and has more letters after his name than you can shake a stick at! Nick will be giving a lecture on Sunday morning entitled “Every Picture Has a Story”. He has a plethora of experience and interests; Nick was a forensic photographer, a press photographer and he loves photographing live theatre; so this will be one not to miss.

Accommodation

The Annebrook House Hotel have a rate of €119 for a double room in the main hotel and €75 for single occupancy per night. They also have a number of 2 bedroom apartments available.
