The Trophy, for the best set of four All-Round monochrome images, was won by that master of the monochrome Donald Crabtree with a total score of 71 out of 80 points! His prints were: 'Wells Cathedral Steps', 'Loving Arms', 'Jock and Jan, Street Musicians, Greenwich' and 'Neolithic Dwellings, Stonehenge'. Michael Myers came second with 59 points and Sandra Cockayne third with 56 points.
