Canon lab quality photoprinter, the SELPHY ES3 portable photo printer; and a
Creative Photography Night evening course. Two runners up will receive a
Canon SELPHY ES3 portable photo printer. ‘Let’s play’ – the tagline for the

Just out of interest, was every entry displayed at the exhibition?

Hi Sarah, the shortlisted entries were displayed at the exhibition and then the judges chose the winners. A selection from the shortlisted entries is in the current issue of the magazine. We'll be putting a range of images submitted to the competition on our website soon.
