IPAF is pleased to announce the results of its 25th Anniversary Photo Contest.
The aim of the contest was to bring the correct use of platforms to the forefront. The contest attracted entries from all around the world.
Entries were slow at first, but the press did come up with several excellent photos, and the judges had to make some difficult choices.
"The contest really made people think about what was the correct way to use platforms and at the same time got the press thinking about dramatic ways to capture the dynamics of the subject," said Tim Whiteman, IPAF managing director. "We really thank all the entrants and would encourage people to continue sending us dramatic pictures of platforms being used correctly so that we may use them in our publications. Journalists should strive to use pictures of platforms being used correctly -- this is an ongoing campaign for IPAF."
The public category also presented the judges with a tough task.
"Some of those entering in the public category have made a real effort," noted Rupert Douglas-Jones, IPAF international training manager. "There were a number of very good photos."
The judging panel comprised Whiteman, Douglas-Jones and Richard Rawlings from R&M Marketing Ltd.
IPAF thanks and congratulates all participants for their efforts.
There are three great prizes in each category: a stunning new iPhone, an amazing SlingBox and digital picture frames.
And the winners are:
