I was awarded the CPAGB (Certificate of The Photographic Alliance Of Great Britain) recently at the first attempt. I had to enter ten images, each one was scrutinised by a panel of six judges, who had to decide if the image was worthy of the standard. A score minimum score of 200 was required (from 300) and I was delighted to score 245, the second highest of 57 entries, and one image scored 28 from 30, only two images gained that mark from 570 judged on the day!
