Season 2024 / 2025 PDI of The Year Awards
On 1st April we held our PDI of the Year event, judged by Rosemary Wilman (FRPS (Hon) APAGB, AFIAP, AVPE). This represented all Printed Digital Images submitted to competitions over the season and selected by Rosemary to represent the best of the best.
Each category had a chosen winner, a runner up and third placed image. Additionally, Highly Commended images were also recognised by our judge. The standard of photography, as well as the number of competitive entries, made the judges decision very difficult. Congratulations to everyone who took part, and particularly to all the winners and those recognised below, but thanks to all contributors for making this a good natured competitive event to put a cap on another great season.
The overall winner of PDI of the Year for season 2024-2025 was Maurilio Teso with “Chalkhill Blue at Sunset”, our featured image. Well done Maurilio.
