XRR Visions is run by XRR Photographic Society (eX Rolls Royce) – Watford. It is a projected digital image trophy competition aimed at individual competitors from any PAGB affiliated club. There is the option however for 3 individuals from a club to be registered as a club team for a separate trophy. Select your best three images and give it a go. If you do decide to enter as an individual, please let the LBPC External Competitions Co-Ordinator know so that your entries can be considered for the LBPC Club entry.

“The global pandemic has greatly impacted our lives and our club activities, but thank goodness we can still meet and share our mutual interest on online platforms like Zoom, Microsoft Teams, etc. XRR has therefore adapted its VISIONS competition for 2020 and made the following changes” Bill Cooper Secretary, XRR Photographic Society

JUDGING VISIONS

The guest judge for the competition is Richard Speirs DPAGB APAGB BPE2* and the closing date for entries is Wednesday, 4th November. The final for VISIONS will be held via Zoom on Wednesday, 25th November, and all entrants will be invited to attend.

After 25 years of XRR Pre-Visions, XRR VISIONS is in its 10th year. I hope that you will again be inspired to enter our competition with its unique and entertaining format. Remember to save the best of the best image for the final live judging, as it may turn out to be a tiebreaker for the individual trophy and/or the prestigious Club trophy.
