This is the second year running I have been awarded the FIAP Blue Badge for The Best Author in the exhibition following on from the award in 2014.

The Yorkshire International Photography exhibition is organised by The Yorkshire Photographic Union, and is open to professional and amateur photographers worldwide.

The exhibition has patronage from both The PSA (Photographic Society of America) and FIAP (Federation of International Art and Photography)

The Exhibition has 6 sections, Open Colour Print, Monochrome Print, Open PDI, Monochrome PDI, Travel, Nature and Landscape Print.

With respected judges in each section. I've listed the judges and sections below, along with the statistics for each section.
