Staffordshire Wildlife Calendar - 2026 - Mike Ladd's Image will appear for May

Image of the Year and our final competition of the season was held on 6th May 2025 and judged by John Haines who is nationally approved of the Midlands Counties Photographic Federation (MCPF). All 1st, 2nd and 3rd placed entries in the previous 5 competitions for Print and PDI were judged plus wildcard entries by any member who did not have an image already in either category. It made for an entertaining evening of judging by John whose expertise, constructive critique and boundless energy were a great mix for the occasion. It was an almost impossible task for John to choose his overall winning image but choose he did, and Jen's Print, 'Love Triangle' earned the Club award. Jen becomes the second winner of the prize. Congratulations to her! A little about our trophy. Dr Clive Rowley was a long-term member of Rocester & District Camera Club who died in 2023. Clive was a talented photographer and watercolour artist. An alumnus of Cambridge University Medical School, he worked as a GP in Staffordshire. In his memory the club purchased the trophy and it was first awarded at the end of last season. Past Winners - Ian Barstow - 2024-25 season
