David Multon Trophy
The
David Multon Trophy competition commemorates David Multon’s
membership of DCC. David was a long serving and highly respected member of the
club, he served as programme secretary, Chairman, and President and was a fine
photographer. He sadly passed away in January 2020 and is missed by all who
knew him and enjoyed his company.
He
loved gardening and his garden at home, and some of his last exhibition images
were close ups of flowers. David and his wife Jane spent as much time as
possible at their harbour side home in Salcombe, South Devon, often joined by
other members of the family. They enjoyed sailing, pottering, visiting local
coves and beaches, eating out, socialising with local people in the pubs.
Landscape photography was a passion, as was travel both in the UK and abroad.
The
David Multon Trophy competition is targeted to be an original competition. The only limit is your creative imagination,
with both PDI and print allowed in the same competition.
• A set subject competition.
• Classless.
• A maximum two entries.
Entry can be PDI or print or a mixture of one PDI and
one print. Unfortunately, the judging of books, AV, and zines has proved to
problematic and difficult in practice, so these are now, with regret, excluded.
NOTE - With the
agreement of the Multon family it has been decided to refocus and relaunch this
competition after 2026. The competition is still targeted to be an original
competition. The only limit is your
creative imagination; for instance if you like you could add text to an image.
Both PDI and print allowed in the same competition. The judge will be asked to
mark to reward creative imagination, and not safe standard images. Four set
subjects will be used, one per year, on rotation:
• Seascapes.
• Gardenscapes.
• Cityscapes.
• Landscapes.
