Our exhibition is built using an on-line system for the selection process and Web site building etc. The software used is called PhotoExhib (author Steve Bright of Bright Imaging), and makes the whole process quite painless and works admirably. We would like to say thank you to all entrants for your support and to our Selectors for their time and expertise.
