The Warragul Camera Club was recently named the "Champion Club" at the 2025 Gippsland Interclub Photography Exhibition.
The award was presented at the Latrobe Regional Gallery in Morwell on Friday, July 12 as part of the gallery's winter exhibition season opening event.
The Interclub Photography Exhibition features 60 images taken by members of Gippsland's six community photography clubs. All images in the exhibition were taken in Gippsland and showcase diverse depictions of the urban, rural and coastal and communities of Gippsland.
A panel of three independent and highly credited photography judges - John Ansell, Tuck Leong and Michael Walker - awarded prizes for the best print and best club in the exhibition.
Warragul Camera Club received the highest point score of the six clubs involved in the competition and its name was added to the perpetual Gippsland Interclub Photography Competition banner.
Contributing to the club's overall score were David Woodcock's winning image, Ruth Burleigh's third placed image and Jane Woodcock's merit award winning image.
The complete Gippsland Interclub Photography Exhibition can be viewed at Latrobe Regional Gallery until Sunday September 21. The gallery is open seven days a week, from 10am to 4pm.
