We are delighted to celebrate our fantastic results at the Irish Photographic Federation’s National Shield 2026, held at the Barbican Centre in Drogheda on Saturday, 7th November 2026.

Hosted by Drogheda Photographic Club, this prestigious national competition brought together 19 camera clubs from across Ireland, showcasing the talents of non-advanced photographers through monochrome and colour print panels.

Our Results

• Mono Panel: Joint 3rd Place 

• Colour Panel: Joint 1st Place 

• Overall: Joint 2nd Place 

These are wonderful achievements for our club, and we couldn't be prouder!

A huge congratulations to all the photographers whose images were selected to represent our club. Special congratulations to Kenneth Duggan, who received an Honourable Mention for his image — a well-deserved recognition!

A sincere thank you to our Competition Secretary, Paul Tips, and his team for their tremendous work in printing and mounting the images. We are especially grateful to Paul for travelling to Drogheda to present our panels on the day.

Our thanks also go to the Selection Committee for their time, effort and careful consideration in putting together such strong panels.

Finally, congratulations to all the clubs and individual photographers who received awards at this year's competition.
