Firstly, to thank the 18 Photography Group Members who entered the competition – a record entry.  Our aim has been for each Photography Group member to produce their 'Personal Best' and achieve continual improvement year on year.  The range and quality this year has been outstanding making it truly difficult to select the top 3.

The Photography group held its own judging and voting in December and it was opened up to all of our u3a members in late December closing on Friday 9 January 2026.

57 Members voted in the All Member vote, we thank you all and hope that you also enjoyed reviewing the photos.

The results below are separated into Photography Group and All Member vote.

Thank you all again,  Alan
