The Northern Ireland Photographic Association annual Audio Visual Festival
was held over two days 15th/16th February at The Courtyard Theatre,
Ballyearl. We were delighted to welcome Richard Brown FRPS back again
to Ballyearl as the Guest Judge. Richard has judged the Festival in the past
and is well known to the local audience. In fact he even had a request for his
'Gasman came to Call' sequence, remembered from a previous visit, when
he showed his work on the Friday night to an appreciative audience that
included the Mayor of Newtownabbey Alderman Victor Robinson and his
wife.
For the first time the festival was an 'All Ireland' event attracting entries
from Camera Club members across Ireland from both the Northern Ireland
and Irish Photographic Federations. This gave an added dimension for the
many visitors from the Republic of Ireland who attend the event each year.
Previously only the winning sequence from the I.P.F. Championship, held the
previous October, was competed against the N.I.P.A. Festival winner for the
'Neil Marshal' Inter-federation Medal.
