Lambton College
Digital Photography program Image Challenge
The Image Challenge is our print competition where students
submit their best work from their portfolios at the end of the term. Each image is judged and scored with the top
score in each category and overall winners being declared.
Judging took place in the Digital
Photography studio and was conducted by three respected photography experts;
Leonard Segall, Executive of the Sarnia Photographic Club; Petro Tiahur
professional commercial photographer; and veteran Sarnia photojournalist Glenn
Ogilvie.
The judging was intense and took over six hours to
complete. The competition was very close and many of the winners are
separated by extremely small scoring margins.
The competition involved a total of 130 images entered into seven categories
-22 first-year students must enter four separate images. They have four categories to choose from (Nature, Portrait, Commercial, Un-classified)
-10 second-year students must enter five separate images. They have three categories to choose from (People, Places, Product)
We held an exciting awards ceremony
held April 22nd at Paddy Flaherty’s pub on the waterfront in Sarnia. After the ceremony we were treated to a live band courtesy of Angela Smolders and the staff at Paddy Flaherty's. It was a great time, thanks to everyone involved!
Thanks to sponsors who generously provided prizes for the
student winners:
-Camera Canada / Forest City Image Centre
-Vistek
-Carman’s foto source, Sarnia
-Paddy Flaherty’s
The Overall Competition winners receive a plaque and
financial Scholarship Awards from The Geri Freeborn Memorial fund. The winners are decided by the total score
on all their images entered in the competition.
The Geri
Freeborn Memorial Awards were created by program faculty in honour of a former
Digital Photography student who passed away suddenly in January 2013. At age
57, Freeborn was the oldest student to enroll in the College’s Digital
Photography program. She has been remembered as a hard working student who was
creatively driven.
