The National Exhibition has been showcasing the best of works by camera club and Photographic Society of New Zealand members for over 60 years.
This exhibition is one of the most eagerly awaited events on the Society’s annual calendar: For three reasons: members are eager to participate; eager to receive the results, and then hopefully see their own works on display.
This year’s exhibition has been organised by The Wellington Photographic Society and this event runs alongside the Hutt2019 Convention. The Canon National Exhibition organising committee of Glen Innes (Chair), Russ Finnerty, Christine Jacobsen, Shannon Doyle, Peter Rodgers, Craig Phillips and Paul Whitham (Convention liaison) have worked tirelessly to bring you this event and we thank them for their hard work and commitment.
This March will be celebrating all things Film Photography related, with speakers and a monthly competition.
