2026 North Cheshire Challenge
The 2026 North Cheshire Challenge was held on Saturday 13th June, judged by Jeremy Malley-Smith (LRPS, EFIAP, DPAGB, BPE3*). The format is a knock-out club competition, with each club entering 5 images. In a knock-out, about 50% of the images are knocked out in a series of round until only a handful remain, at which point the judge chooses an overall winner. Scores are awarded based on the round at which an image is knocked out, and the club with the highest total score wins.
There were 120 images entered from 24 clubs. LSAPS scored 18 points and came a very commendable 3rd place – a significant improvement on the previous two years. The competition was won by Southport who tied with South Manchester on 21 pts, but Southport won by virtue of having the overall winning image by Katherine Scorah.
