Local Photographer Laura Spence achieves international acclaim!
Laura, a photographer based in Fife has reached the Final of the fiercely contested Guild of Photographers Image of the Year Competition.

The Guild is a highly respected UK based association for photographers, which has members from overseas as well. Each year it runs an online monthly photographic competition, judged by internationally respected judges, with awards given to the best entries. 

During 2021, the competition has attracted over c13,000 entries from the most talented of photographers. 

It has recently been announced that from all the entries across the year, the Guild’s Judges have selected JUST 10 images in various genres to go forward to the annual Image of the Year Final. Those selected really are the best of the best, and an image by Laura is one of those selected as a Finalist!

Guild Director Lesley Thirsk said “One of the Guild’s aims is to drive standards and creativity amongst photographers. Our competition certainly does that, for the standard of the entries we see each month is quite staggering. To have an image recognised by the Guild in the monthly competition is difficult enough, so to have an image selected as being one of the best in a category for the end of year Final is without doubt an incredible achievement, and shows just how talented photographer, Laura is.”

Name said “I am so delighted be a finalist in this years image of the month competition. In my time with the Guild of Photographers I've seen the level of work involved and the huge amount of entries and I still can't believe two of my images have made it to the final”

In December, highly regarded Judges gathered together from across the country to choose the overall winner. 
The results will be announced in early February 2022.
