2024 Smartphone Camera Challenge – The results

By | 1st July 2024

Between 8 – 23 June Worthing held its Festival and we ran the Smartphone Camera Challenge.

On behalf of Worthing Camera Club I would like to give a huge thank you to everyone who joined us on our walks, took part in the challenges and shared some of their images for the competition. I would also like to thank the judging panel, given the number and quality of images submitted it was a difficult job.

The purpose of the Festival is to encourage residents and visitors to be creative and to showcase Worthing’s creative talents. For us, the purpose of the challenge is to demonstrate that a Smartphone Camera is a “proper” camera and with a little understanding can be used to create beautiful and unusual images. This year’s competition was fun and enjoyable for us and we hope you enjoyed the event too? It is always wonderful to see so many different and creative ways of capturing the same subject.

Congratulations to each of our challenge Winners.
