This year's Inter-Regional Wildlife Competition, the 2nd running of this perpetual competition was hosted by NIPA.

We had a fantastic entry from both the IPF and NIPA, with a total of 306 PDIs.

These were independently judged by two Wildlife Photographers, Danny Gibson and Tom McDonnell. Each judge scored the images out of 20.

On Saturday 18th at Oxford Island we had the show and tell. We had around 130 people in the room, including 15 from the IPF, some who travelled from as far as Limerick,

I hope you enjoyed the day. Both judges provided excellent feedback on all images, many thanks, Danny and Tom.

Congratulations to everyone who entered and to those who had placed images.

Congratulations to the IPF who just pipped us by 2 points to take the overall honour of the top Federation.

Looking forward to next year.
