Chairman’s Message
Thankyou for entering the 2022 Southern Cross Exhibition. This year we received entries from 42 photographers in 11
different countries. The number of entrants in the Open section was a little down on last year, but we saw more
entrants for our set-subject, so the overall number of images was about the same. The quality of the images wasexcellent, continuing the trend from last year. The PSA allows us to accept no more than 45% of images, so anyentrant who has attained “exhibitor” status should be very proud of their achievement.
For the third consecutive year, new exhibitors have achieved great success with several acceptances and two medals,including the Open Best of Show, just like last year! It’s great to see new entrants do so well because it helps to keep
our exhibition fresh, and we all benefit from exposure to new styles and new ideas from some of the world’s beststereo photographers. I sincerely hope that the exhibition grows and that we see even more new entrants next year.
This year’s set subject was expanded to include “Close-ups”, increasing the maximum subject size from 50mm to250mm. As a result, we saw more subject diversity, more entrants, and great images. The number of set-subject
entrants is still down on pre-pandemic exhibitions, however the quality continues to grow with each year.
Thanks again for entering and contributing to our exhibition, and of course a special thank you to our judges, Carlton
Wright, Bob Price, and Sefan Hreszczuk for their time, expertise, rigour and objectivity.
