Please do visit the sponsors, hopefully you will find something you wish to purchase. This is after all what keeps the competitions going and the prizes coming in.

*Waddington Airshow are expected to confirm prize offering soon

The competition leaderboard at the start of the competition is very interesting…

Mark Jarvis, Martyn Crookston, Adrian Glazzard and Robert Clarke all look set to join the 100 club this year – fingers crossed… Martyn Crookston is by default the man to beat again this year – 2nd place on the Ranking Total column with 79 points, but there will be no entries from the current 1st place as Ken Brannen jumps in as a sponsor this year – so the pressure is on Martyn!

And will Ian Schofield retain his stranglehold on the top and break through into the 200 club (if he does he will likely be the only member) – the only other person who could join him is Neil Darby, but the quality of entries keeps on getting better and it is doubtful whether one individual will stand out on their own.

Looking forward to receiving your entries, Good Luck!

This years competition opens officially  this coming thursday (1st May) and will close on 30th September 2014.

Prizes have been coming in thick and fast with the latest contribution coming from Terry Jones Art ( www.terryjones-art.co.uk ), with two commemorative prints on offer. Both prints can be seen on the following page http://www.terryjones-art.co.uk/red%20arrows%20special.htm – the Jon Egging print has been allocated to first prize and the Sean Cunningham print to 2nd prize.

Terry is very generously donating the proceeds from sale of both prints to the Jon Eggings Trust and The Royal Air force Benevolent Fund respectively. In the hope of winning one of these great prizes, it is understandable you may not wish to make apurchase at this time, but do please make a donation to either (or both) of these very worthy charities in the meantime.

The RIAT tickets have now also been allocated to 1st prize, other airshow tickets are awaiting confirmation and will be detailed as soon as possible. This years prize table now stands as follows:

Just over 2 weeks remaining in the Early Entry Phase.

I have received a few questions regarding the number of entries which are allowed, so to clarify…

Before the competition opens officially on the 1st May, there is an Early Entry Phase.

During the Early Entry Phase entrants are permitted to submit ONE entry, but it MUST have been taken during 2013. There will be no further opportunity to submit this “extra” entry after 31st March.

All entries received in this phase will be reviewed and shortlisted during April. Maximum of 25 entries will be shortlisted, so regardless of the total number of entries received, some may not make the cut.

The Main Phase opens on 1st May and closes on 30th September. During this phase entrants are permitted to submit TWO entries, both of which must have been taken in 2014.

On to the prizes now:

The prize board currently stands as follows:

1st Prize

£150 voucher (to include p&p) courtesy of Key Publishing Ltd

2nd Prize

£100 voucher (to include p&p) courtesy of Key Publishing Ltd
