These are the award winning photographers and their images by members from our “Annual Exhibition 2026″, PDI & Print Exhibition”. Each year we hold our Annual Exhibition Competions for both Prints and PDI’s.

PDI Winners and Placings

Jo Rose from Northallerton, judged 70 images submitted from 18 members in the Annual PDI Competition which was held on the 16th of March 2026. Jo previously worked with Joe Cornish at his Gallery in Northallerton, in that work she judged many International Competitions, it was the third time that Jo had judged a competition for Northallerton this season, she gave in-depth comments on every image, from that we learned how she read each image.
