BWPS Earns First Place in the PSA International Color Slide Competition for 2006-2007

In a dramatic come from behind victory, Boston West Photographic Society earned First Place honors for the PSA International Group A Color Slide competition for 2006-2007. BWPS was two points behind both Spokane, WA and Forest Grove, IL going into the final competition, but finished in First Place for both April and for the Year. Four of our makers earned individual honors in April to help power this strong finish. Also, Mike Goodman and Frank Forward each had an image that earned Awards of Merit this year that makes them eligible to enter their slides in PSA Slide of the Year to be held in June 2007.

This victory represents a major accomplishment for our club. Over 120 camera clubs from the USA, Canada and Europe compete in PSA, and the 20 best clubs compete in Group A, the top bracket. And in only it's second year of operation, Boston West has finished at the top of this elite group. You could say Boston West has earned bragging rights as the Best Camera Club in the Nation.

Our club's makers who generously allowed us to use their slides in PSA competitions this year deserve our thanks. Without them, we would not have been able to win this prestigious award.
