BIPP NW REGION ANNUAL AWARDS NIGHT

The evening of this year’s BIPP NW Region Annual Awards proved once again to be a hugely successful and most enjoyable event, with a record number of entries from members across the board. Hosted again at the ever popular ‘Dukes 92’, a good turnout of the membership enjoyed the wining and dining of the superb venue, and cheered on as the winners received their well-deserved awards.

The much coveted ‘Photographer of the Year’ award, based on a points system rather than a single image went to portrait photographer Jo Rutherford who had consistently produced a set of superb portrait images. The Portrait Photographer of the year was also awarded to Jo Rutherford, the Commercial Photographer of the year was awarded to Architectural Photographer Charlie Coleman, and the ‘Wedding’ Photographer of the year was won by Ioan Said. Other category winners and runners up can be seen by clicking here along with the winning images.

We were very fortunate, through our valuable trade sponsorship connections, to have secured a number of interesting and worthwhile prizes awarded by the sponsors to the winners in most categories. There were also some new categories in 2017 such as street photography, interior architectural photography and ‘Advertising on Location’ to encourage members from other disciplines.

As a region, we rely on the sustained support of all our members and the Awards Night is our most prestigious and significant event. In order for the region to represent the interests of the membership, it is important that we continue to stage this event each year and we depend on our valued members to keep attending this great night out.
