Lambton Photo Competition

As promised, this week we will post the results of the Lambton College Digital Photography Competition. All first year students in the program were eligible to enter, and all did, presenting their best photos in the four categories of Nature, Portrait, Commercial and Unclassified. The scores from each category were totalled to produce an overall award.

The competition was judged by a panel of professional photographers from Toronto.

The overall award winner was Spencer Drake, who won the Geri Freeborn Memorial Award, this was a plaque and a $200 scholarship towards tuition to year 2. He narrowly edged out Kaitlyn Eastman, who won a $100 Gift Certificate from Henry's Photo in London, and a Henry's tripod. Fera Kennedy took the third place prize of a $100 Gift basket from Paddy Flaherty's, site of the awards presentation.

In the Nature Category, Jeff McCoy won for his photo of a hawk. The prize was a $15 gift certificate from Vistek, and a $25 gift certificate from Toronto Image Works.

In the Portrait Category Kaitlyn Eastman won a $15 gift certificate from Vistek, and a $25 gift certificate from Toronto Image Works.

In the Commercial Category Spencer Drake won  a $15 gift certificate from Vistek, and a $25 gift certificate from Toronto Image Works.

In the Unclassified Category Angela Smolders won a $15 gift certificate from Vistek, and a $25 gift certificate from Toronto Image Works.

We look forward to next April, when the awards will add another category with both first and second year competitions.

Lambton Students Win at Local Competition

Things at Lambton have slowed down a bit over the past few weeks, now that the students have (mostly) successfully completed their first year of studies. The faculty are hard at work producing materials for the second year of the program, as well as getting ready for the new group of first year students coming in this September. 

We have a few items to announce this week. For the first time Lambton students joined those from Fanshawe’s much larger program at the Mary Webb’s Fourth Annual Year-end Exhibition at the Mary Webb Centre in Highgate (near London). We were surprised to discover that two of our first year students won prized. Ann Marie D’Hondt  won the first place Mary Webb Prize, and $75 for her photo (above), while Sarah Di Donato won an honourable mention for the photo below.

Next week we will post the results of Lambton’s own internal competition.
