2007 Calendar Competition
Content HOME News Airshow Dates Airshow Reviews Competitions Museum Guide Museum Events Airscene Awards Airband Airscene Shop Downloads	Special thanks to Key Publishing Ltd and The Military & Aviation Book Society for donating book prizes for this competition. 06/11/06 - Airscene 2007 Calendar is now avilable in a 6.5MB zip file - DOWNLOAD It is always difficult to judge a competition which has such an open brief, my own task of shortlisting was extremely difficult and we know that the judges had an even harder time; as Michelle McDonald (Key Publishing) Ltd put it: 'Crikey that was hard!' For Airscene the results are irrelevant, as part this large community of aviation enthusiasts we are only too happy to provide a service to others like us. The main reason for this competition was to allow other enthusiasts to share their own passion for aviation with the community, and hopefully at the same time provide exposure for individuals who are considering a career from their photography. Thankyou to all for entering, good luck and best wishes for 2007.
