Would you like the chance to meet the IWPOY judges from the 2007 competition and listen to how they arrived at their decisions. Maybe you’d like to discuss your entries with them and gain a few pointers for the IWPOY 2008. The Isle of Wight Digital Imaging Group are hosting an IWPOY Judges evening on Wednesday 30th January 2008 at Dimbola Lodge, Freshwater Bay 7:30-9:30pm. 

During the evening you will also be able to try-out some of the latest digital photographic equipment as we are very pleased that our new sponsor the Island Photo Centre will be on-hand to show you what’s new and answer any questions you may have.

This is a strictly by invitation only evening as places are limited. So to reserve your place please fill in the contact form on this website and enter IWPOY Judges Evening as the subject header. You will be notified by email if you are successful. 

We know that it will be a very interesting evening and we look forward to seeing you there.

The IWPOY is very pleased to welcome on-board its first new sponsor for the 2008 competition.

IPC is in the process of developing their new website that will be going live in February and we will provide you with the link as soon as we can.

Thanks to IPC for their support and please use the link on the right for their address and phone contact details until their new website goes live.
