Bringing photography to life
The Jack Levett Challenge
This is a 3-print challenge based on a subject proposed by the last year's winner, and is usually held around April.
For 2025, the subject is REFLECTIONS.
- The images must be new and unseen by the club, ideally taken specifically for this challenge.
- The images are presented together and judged as a panel.
- Images are not given points but the judge will select a 1st, 2nd and 3rd place from all the entries.
- The winner receives a trophy which they keep for a year, and a money prize which goes to a charity of their choice.
Jack Levett was our President until his untimely death in 2002. Well known and respected in the Chelmsford area, as well as being an amateur photographer, Jack was an accomplished organist, choirmaster, brass band member, scout leader and philatelist. Everything he did, he did enthusiastically and well. He tried to encourage our members to take more photos by issuing his annual challenge. He believed strongly that our competitions should not consist of pictures already taken but that we should go out and take pictures specially for the competition. By continuing this tradition, the memory of a much loved and respected member of the community is perpetuated.
