The Theme for December 2020  was " Abstract"  while complying fully with Covid- 19 restrictions.

The competition was judged by the well known and distinguished photographer Inaki Hernandez - Lasa FRPS. FIPF. AFIAP.

Inaki  put in a huge effort and did a fantastic job of the judging for us. Inaki provided precise, clear and definitive commentary, including suggestions for improvement where appropriate, on all images which was highly appreciated by all the entrants. Inaki also very kindly waived his fee for judging, requesting that we make a donation to a local charity instead. We will make the donation to Mallow SVP.

Their is a huge amount of administration in a competition like this and MCC's Competition Secretary and Assistant Secretary, Neil O' Mullane and Lisa Egan did a tremendous job on this. The winners of the December  competition were announced via a Zoom conference call on Monday January 11th 2021 with a fantastic turnout of members participating in the call.
