The 2014 Mallow Camera Club Photographer of the Year competition was held on Monday night last, 19 May.  As expected there was a full house for the event, which was judged by Iñaki Hernández-Lasa, Morgan O’Neill and John Finn all from Cork Camera Group.

After the judging and some light refreshments the judges provided feedback on a selection of images entered in the competition.  The results were then announced by Club Chairman Bill Power.
