Congratulations to Ian Johnson LRPS and Penny Reeves LRPS on becoming official Panel B Judges accredited by the East Anglian Federation of Photographic Societies (EAF)...

Reaching Panel B accreditation is a significant milestone within the UK club photography circuit, moving them beyond the entry tier and listing them in the EAF Judges & Lecturers Directory as reliable, experienced assessors. 

How does the Panel ranking work? 

The EAF structures its judge registry into three distinct tiers:

  1. Panel A - Highest Federation tier
    Competent to judge at regional, National, and International Exhibition levels.
  2. Panel B - The experienced core
    Possesses a wide knowledge of photography, offering reliable, constructive advice and high impartiality across different styles.
  3. Panel C - Club entry tier
    Articulate and capable of giving an engaging evening at local club competitions.

Our congratulations also to club member Emma Hall LRPS, who, after gaining her Panel C accreditation at a previous assessment, has recently completed her first camera club competition as a certified judge. Her constructive feedback and warm style were very well received.

Congratulations to all three members!
