The third placed photo submitted by Pauline Carson Kiltyclogher Parish Clogher Diocese.
The winners of the Church of Ireland Central Communications Board’s photography competition on a theme of ‘New Beginnings’ were announced today (Thursday, 5 May) at the 2022 General Synod, in Assembly Buildings, Belfast.
One of the three prizewinners is Pauline Carson, a member of Kiltyclogher Parish, Co. Leitrim, part of the Garrison Group in Clogher Diocese, who submitted a beautiful panoramic shot of Lough Melvin, from the Garrison shoreline looking across the border to the Leitrim Hills.
The judge remarked; 'Another lovely reminder of this beautiful part of the world we're blessed to call home.'
The winning photo was a colourful view inside Down Cathedral, Downpatrick, by Jeff Marshall and second was Ian Gordon’s photograph of a rainbow at his home parish church, in Saintfield, Co. Down.
The competition was kindly sponsored by Ecclesiastical Insurance and prizes were presented by Bishop Pat Storey, Chair of the Central Communications Board.
Bishop Storey remarked: “We’re grateful to everyone who took part in this competition for seeking out signs of new beginnings as we emerge into brighter times. The quality of the photos submitted is a reflection of the creativity which exists across our Church and which helps us to communicate stories of hope and faith around our island.”
