Welcome to our Portrait Competition for 2022, we were Judged tonight by the expert eye of Judge: Rebecca Entwistle, who encouraged quite a lot of audience participation during her judging. A much appreciated addition to the night. Thank you for a fun and insightful night.

Returning from our Soul Train Show assignment we return to our normal club competitions and tonight we welcomed Judge Terry Hewitt to officiate at our competition. As always when we welcome our Judges we are happy and grateful for their experience and comments when viewing our entries.

Tonight Judge Gordon Bartley
ARPS had a very difficult night as the standard of pictures submitted was so high, after much deliberation, he made his choices and can we all congratulate our winners on the night for the 2021 Portrait competition. Many thanks to Judge Bartley for all his comments and insights into what make a great portrait.

And so we come to our last competition of the 2020/2021 season and what a strange season it has been.
