PSNZ Canon National Exhibition 2019

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.
