Photowalk exhibition & judging night
We’re pleased to announce that the entries for the Photowalk will be on display at Wobblybridge Gallery from Tuesday 15th February until Saturday 19th February. Judging will take place on Wednesday 16th February from 7pm until 8.30pm.
Everyone who attends the judging evening can cast a single vote for a photo in each of the following categories. You must attend the evening to vote. The evening is free and open to all ~ as indeed is the exhibition.
The categories are:
1. Best shot from brief one
2. Best shot from brief two
3. Best shot from brief three
4. Best ‘series’ ~ a complete set of all three images, one for each brief
5. Best overall photograph/image (judged from all three briefs).
Each photograph will be displayed with its brief to assist with the judging.
In addition to the above five categories, a judging panel from Redbox, Wobblybridge and Hop House Design will make awards for:
6. Best photograph shot using film (judged from all three briefs)
5. Best image shot using a mobile phone (judged from all three briefs)
6. Best example of digital manipulation (judged from all three briefs).
The organisers will be providing wIne and soft drinks on the evening of the 16th ~ but everyone who attends is being asked to contribute to the evening by bringing a bottle.
A massive thanks to everyone who took part in the Xmas Photowalk. We had nearly 50 entrants… so the contest for the winning photographs should be hotly contested.
You need to enter ONE image for each of the three briefs you were given. As a reminder, they will be judged in the following categories.
1 ~ Best shot from brief one
2 ~ Best shot from brief two
3 ~ Best shot from brief three
4 ~ Best photograph shot using film (judged from all three briefs)
5 ~ Best image shot using a mobile phone (judged from all three briefs)
6 ~ Best example of digital manipulation (judged from all three briefs)
7 ~ Best ‘series’ ~ a complete set of all three images, one for each brief
8 ~ Best overall photograph/image (judged from all three briefs).
You need to get your files (or film) to RedBox before the end of Monday Jan 10th. They will then print each of your three entries on 8 x6 in paper. You therefore need to save your files to a 4:3 format. Any queries, pop into RedBox on Monson Rd, call them on 01892 544 702, or tweet them at @RedboxCameras.
JUDGING
As for the last Photowalk, everyone who attends the opening night of the exhibition at Wobblybridge Gallery will get a chance to vote. Each person will be allowed to cast one vote in each category. We’re arranging the dates of the exhibition at the moment ~ looking likely to be in early February. Please leave your contact details below (email and/or phone number) if you’d like us to contact you as soon as we have the dates.
Almost a year to the day from the very first Tunbridge Wells Photowalk, we’re pleased to announce a special Christmas ‘walk on December 29th ~ the Wednesday between Christmas and New Year. Starting at noon from the Divinity Café (at the Trinity Theatre), the Photowalk will end at 3pm at Sankeys on Mount Ephraim.
Wednesday morning is of course when Twuttle takes place at Café Divinity ~ I’m sure many of us will go along to that (Twuttle starts at 10am) and then take part in the Photowalk afterwards.
Tickets are only £5 in advance, per entrant ~ available from this Saturday (18th December) from RedBox Cameras on Monson Rd, Wobblybridge Gallery in Camden Rd, and Achieve More Café in Vale Rd. You can also buy tickets on the day of the ‘walk, priced £7.50.
THE BRIEF
The ‘walk will be in three separate stages ~ with a different ‘brief’ for each one. The first brief will be given at Divinity… together with the location for the where the second and third briefs can be collected. Don’t worry, we won’t be asking you to walk too far ~ all locations will be within Tunbridge Wells town centre. The walk will finish at 3pm (before sundown) at Sankeys ~ where we can all partake in a reviving drink or two! (and who knows, we may even be able to convince Matt and his staff to lay on some grub… watch this space!).
FILM! DIGITAL! ~ EVEN MOBILE PHONES!
This time around we’re not restricting the ‘walk to just one medium ~ by popular demand we’re opening it up to ANY device that can capture images ~ including mobile phones! You will be asked to choose ONE image you have taken for each of the three briefs. These do not have to be handed in at Sankeys ~ you have until Saturday 15th January to make your choice ~ and even (also by popular demand) digitally manipulate said image(s) if you wish. Your chosen images need to be taken to RedBox, where the staff will make prints for an exhibition at the Wobblybridge Gallery (date to be confirmed ~ likely to be only a couple of weeks later).
THE CATEGORIES
The images from the Photowalk will be judged in the following categories:
1 ~ Best shot from brief one
2 ~ Best shot from brief two
3 ~ Best shot from brief three
4 ~ Best photograph shot using film (judged from all three briefs)
5 ~ Best image shot using a mobile phone (judged from all three briefs)
6 ~ Best example of digital manipulation (judged from all three briefs)
7 ~ Best ‘series’ ~ a complete set of all three images, one for each brief
8 ~ Best overall photograph/image (judged from all three briefs).
JUDGING
As with last time, everyone who attends the opening night of the exhibition at Wobblybridge Gallery will get a chance to vote. Each person will be allowed to cast one vote in each category.

STOP PRESS!
Great news! Ruth Malone’s Achieve More Café on Vale Rd (near T Wells station) will be serving lunch for photowalkers on 29 Dec. Sounds to us like the ideal place to take a break from all that creative snapping. Ruth has promised a range of lunch options as well as great tea and coffee. See you there!
Not forgetting of course that snacks plus tea and coffee (breakfast, brunch or even an early lunch!) will be available from Café Divinity before the photowalk starts at 12 noon.
