The venue for this has to be confirmed, but we will try to get one of the side galleries at the North Light Gallery.

Members may submit up to five prints [no digital images], which can have been specially produced for the Exhibition i.e. they do NOT need to have been entered into a competition during season 2008/09. The following trophies will be awarded to images in the Exhibition:

Spavin Frame: for the best portrait
Lubran Bowl: for the best overall print
Sandford Cup: for the best landscape

It is intended that all trophies will be presented during the Exhibition, dated 27th April 2009, at which will cheese and wine will be included.

 
The 2008 exhibition opens on Saturday 10th May with the YPU Assembly and awards ceremony. YPU members will be able to view the exhibition galleries on the Assembly day.
