Focus on photo award show Layne Christensen News Reporter layne@nsnews.com THE province’s top amateur photographers will take their best shot at a handful of awards Feb. 27. Starting at 7 p.m., the North Shore Photographic Society will host its 1999 North Shore Challenge at the Capilano College Performing Arts Theatre. This is the 15th year for the compctition, which brings together the work of about 34 photogra aphic clubs from across the province. The Challenge has received more than 450 entries, including submissions from clubs in Prince Rupert and Kimberley, B.C. and Whitehorse in’ the Yukon, said competition orga- nizer Alan Beaton. All photographic images will be projected onto a big screen and judged live by Vancouver photographers Julia Day, Bob Herger and Graliame Osborne. The judges will award medals for the top three indi- vidual entrics. The best of show will receive the Canadian Association tor Photographic Art (CAPA) silver medal. The club with the highest aggre- gate score will receive the North Shore Challenge Trophy. The competition entries represent a variety of photo- graphic styles, from photojour- nalism to fine art and subjects as diverse as naturescapes and studio-lit still lifes. Such an array of images mignt tax the attention of all but the most dedicated photo buff, but Beaton said the atmosphere of the evening remains charged. “There's no question i car go on and on. It can get tiring but they're (the images) all so interesting they capture you,” he said. Members of the North Shore Photographic Society meet three Wednesdays a month ar St. Anthony's Church in West Vancouver. In addition to critiques of mem- bers’ work, the club conducts workshops and organizes field trips. Tickets for the Feb. 27 competition are $7, available by calling 926-6236.
