Just received the following from the ISPCA:
I am writing to you on behalf of the ISPCA, to request your help and support; by bringing the ISPCA Calendar Competition to your club member’s attention!
The ISPCA Calendar helps us raise vitally needed funds, that goes towards feeding and veterinary fees for some of Irelands most cruelly treated and neglected animals.
We would welcome pictures that fall into categories of Irish animal nature / domestic animals / farm animals / equines;
The photographs are so important to us, and we would be really grateful to you if you could help us! Further information can be found here.
For the April 15th Meeting Carl Brennan from the Sligo Champion will give us the benefit of his experience in portrait shooting. This will be an interactive session so bring along your camera and maybe your make up artist if you so wish !!
Our next competition will be on Tue 6th May and will be for colour prints. We were so busy at the last meeting with the club and individual panels for Thurles that we forgot to pick a theme. So, borrowing from the FotoGrafia festival below, the May theme will be “Everyday Life”
