Director’s Message
Thank you for entering the 2020 Southern Cross Exhibition. I would like this Exhibition to be remembered as the first
Southern Cross exhibition to host a Macro section, but sadly it will probably be remembered as the exhibition heldduring the Covid-19 pandemic. We received 14% fewer entries this year, possibly the result of our regular supporters
being busy with more pressing needs.
As the world adapts to new challenges, so too did our judging method. For the first time we had judges entering scoresfrom three locations, with results collated in real time via online spreadsheets and decisions discussed via videoconferencing. I’m happy to report that this process worked remarkably well and enabled our enthusiastic judges toapply tremendous rigour and excellent objectivity.
The number of entrants may have been down from 2019, but we received many excellent images, including some fromentrants who were new to the Southern Cross. These new entrants have not only helped to further invigorate the poolof images, they have also raised the bar for quality and creativity, as evidenced by first-timers receiving HMs and even
the Best of Show award!
The new Macro section received fewer images than our traditional “Scapes” section, but I’m pleased to see that thestandard was very high. I suspect some of the images were sourced by scouring through archives, but it was clear that
we also received brand-new works, so I hope that this subject has rekindled an interest for some and sparked a newinterest for others. We will continue with a Macro section next year, so I hope the additional time will encourage morepeople to give it a try and I look forward to seeing more truly outstanding images next year.
Thanks again for entering, and special thanks to our judges, Carlton Wright, Bob Price and Stefan Hreszczuk for theirskill, diligence and flexibility.
