WNE 2026 Results
Winchester National Exhibition 2026
Since 2024, we have been using different software, PhotoExhib, for managing the entries and the judging process.
This allowed us to remove the overall limit of 3000 entries which had been in force for the previous few seasons.
For full details of the results and galleries of the successful images, see WNE 2026 Exhibition Results and Galleries which is hosted on PhotoExhib.
