The annual Sheffield Photography Society exhibition at Sheffield Cathedral was once again a resounding success, delighting visitors with a stunning display of over 160 prints. This year, the Society introduced a public competition, inviting photography enthusiasts to submit their work. The four winning images were professionally printed, mounted, and proudly showcased at the exhibition.
Among the winners was Crosspool’s own Eric Stevens, whose captivating print, *Tranquillity at Keswick*, not only earned a spot in the exhibition but also claimed the title of the public’s favourite image. Remarkably, the two runners-up also hailed from Crosspool—Eddie Sherwood, who impressed with his Barn Owl print, and Erica Oram with Beech Sapling. Adding to the local triumph, Crosspudlian` Andrew Graves’ Lucy’s Diamond in the Sky was awarded the prestigious Society Trophy, chosen by the judge as the exhibition’s best print. The external judge praised the piece, stating, “This image is full of fun with a dash of colour brightening the angry sky. The position of the figure joins the sky, the sea, and the ground together, making for an emotive and interesting composition. A fun image, ideally suited to the small print format, but strong in storytelling and emotional depth.”
If you have an image—whether taken on a phone or a camera—you’ll soon have the opportunity to exhibit your work at the upcoming Festival Art, Craft, and Photography Exhibition, which takes place on Tuesday and Wednesday, 1st & 2nd July.
