PRLog (Press Release) - Sep 21, 2007 -
The Royal Photographic Society’s (www.rps.org) International Projected Image Exhibition (formerly The International Slide Exhibition) was renamed this year with the addition of an Open Digital Section.  This resulted in a massive 80% increase in entries, with the Digital section being the largest, whilst entries for the Nature Slides were also increased this year. 2,400 images were submitted by over 400 photographers worldwide and 476 images have been selected for the Exhibition which will open at the headquarters of The Society, Fenton House, Bath on 14th October.  It will then tour the UK and the Republic of Ireland until March 2008.  See the website www.rps.org for dates and venues.
The 3 categories are:
•   General Slide (excluding Nature)
•   Nature Slide
•   Open Digital
Gold Award winners:
General Slide - Chris Robbins MPAGB S.J.
Nature Slide – Paul Keene FRPS MPAGB EFIAP/p Sanderling

The Exhibition has been well established within the photographic fraternity for many years and continues to attract many outstanding photographers and the quality of images has remained extremely high. This has been confirmed by the feedback from the shows around the country.

It has always been a great achievement to have an image accepted in this Exhibition and with the introduction of the Open Digital category, there is a greater opportunity to do so.

The Society continues to enjoy the Patronage of the Photographic Society of America (PSA), providing a PSA medal in each category for the best overall exhibitor. The Society’s own Patronage has also been awarded in this Exhibition.

The whole Exhibition is available on a CD, playable both on PC and Mac and in a colour catalogue, both can be purchased from RPS Reception 01225 325733 reception@rps.org
