The George Walsh Memorial Trophy
This trophy is presented in memory of George Walsh, longstanding member of WPS, who died in May 2017.
During his 60 years of membership he was actively involved in the running of the Society, taking the role of President twice and being appointed Honorary Life President in 1991.
He ran the Society’s annual exhibition for 31 years, and was co-founder of the Audio-Visual Group.
As a tribute to George’s work as a Hampshire Chronicle photographer, the trophy will be awarded to the winner of a new competition on the theme of documentary/photojournalism.
Documentary photography provides a straightforward and accurate representation of people, places, objects and events. It is used to chronicle events or environments that are significant and relevant to history, as well as those that show everyday life.
Photojournalism, closely associated with street photography, employs images that tell a story, usually news-related, in a creative format that is entertaining as well as informative.

About Chris
Chris is a Level 3 judge on the SCPF circuit, a member of Yately Camera Club and a speaker at photography clubs.
Chris attended an art school as a teenager but was unable to complete his studies. He took up photography as a hobby instead but spent most of his career in the transport industry. Just after the Millennium, he found that the cost of printing photographs had fallen. He felt the need to embark on a project and see if he could publish or exhibit some of the results to the public.
He thought he’d try to capture the human body in new ways – after all, he thought, the human form is one of the commonest things around – everybody’s got one!
His project formed part of the Viewpoint travelling exhibition put on by The Photographic Angle
