The Edinburgh International Print Exhibition is an extremely prestigious competition founded in 1861. It is judged prior to the Edinburgh Festival and the winning images exhibited during the Festival.

The percentage of submitted images which are accepted for the exhibition is vanishingly small. It is indeed remarkable and possibly unique that our wife and husband team, Julie and Alan Walker each achieved a Gold Medal in the exhibition this year.

Julie for ‘Bison Foraging in the Snow’ which won the PSA Gold Medal

and Alan for ‘He loves me, He loves me not’ which won the GPU Gold Medal

Many, many congratulations to both who are seen below receiving their medals from the chair of the exhibition
