PAGB Awards Apr 2025 - Dunblane

The Scottish Photographic Federation were delighted to host the PAGB Awards for Photographic Merit on Saturday and Sunday 26th & 27th April 2025 at our now regular venue of Victoria Hall, Dunblane. 

This event was open to any Club member to attend as well as all of the entrants who had applied from throughout the UK. Photographers attended the event from Scotland, England, Northern Ireland and Wales, and the atmosphere was tense but good. The last time we held this event was in 2026.

We had 30 Scottish photographers in for this adjudication, with applications at all five levels, BPAGB, CPAGB, DPAGB, EPAGB and MPAGB. This was largely due to the numerous SPF workshops and zoom presentations we have held over the past 18 months. 

This webpage is to showcase the work of all those SPF photographers who were successful over this PAGB Awards weekend, 24 in total, an 80% success rate each day, a huge congratulations to them all! Hopefully it will also inspire a few more Scottish photographers to give it a go. 

For those of you that were unsuccessful this time round please feel free to contact Libby (click here) if you're looking for some feedback on your submission results.

The SPF will be running another workshop later in the year (No details available yet) but if you are interested in finding out more about the PAGB Awards scheme in the interim, please visit the PAGB Awards Applying page of this website for lots of information (click here) or to see even more photographs by other successful Scottish Photographers over the past 10 years go to our PAGB Awards Results page (click here).

Many thanks to our two official photographers, Dave Ferguson (Sat) and Cameron Scott (Sun), for the general and presentation photos on this page.

24 Successful Photographers

Out of the 67 successful applicants over the two days just over a third of those came from Scottish entrants with 24 successful SPF photographers, and most of them made it along on the day - A tremendous achievement! There were successes at all five levels, and all in the Print sections - 3 BPAGB - 9 CPAGB - 8 DPAGB - 2 EPAGB and 2 MPAGB. 

Each successful photographer will have their own gallery showing all of their successful panel used to gain their Award. Please revisit this page to find links to NEW galleries as they appear over the coming weeks and months. In the interim we hope you enjoy the selection of photographs from all of the 24 successful photographers below.
