Chairman’s Message
Thankyou for participating in the 2023 Southern Cross Exhibition. This year we received entries from 41
photographers in 8 different countries. The number of entrants in the Open section was slightly down on last year, but
we saw more entrants for our set-subject, so the overall number of images was about the same.
It’s such a privilege to showcase the work of some of the world’s most talented stereo photographers, and it's
heartening to see new photographers joining our celebration of the art of photography and the power of 3D to bring
images to life. For an unbelievable fourth consecutive year, a new exhibitor has again won the Open Best of Show
medal! We had three new exhibitors and between them they achieved 4 medals and 10 acceptances, which is afantastic achievement.
After three years of macro photography, this year’s set subject was changed back to the more traditional topic of“Scapes” -Landscapes, seascapes, and cityscapes. It was wonderful to see stunning images that capture the beauty andcomplexity of our world. World-wide travel is now back to pre-pandemic levels so I’m already looking forward toseeing other beautiful scenes from all over the world in next year’s exhibition.
Thank you again for entering and contributing to our exhibition. I believe that everyone has a unique perspective on
the world around them, and we all benefit when we see your vision come to life in 3D.
And finally, I want to extend a special thank you to our judges, Ray Momox, Nancy Moxom, and Mark Brennan for
their commitment, expertise and objectivity.
