Judging for the 2021 Royal Air Force Photographic Competition took place in October, with several categories producing stunning results.
This year’s Royal Air Force Photographic Competition had seven categories – up from last year’s four, thanks to COVID-19. The categories were Personnel, Current RAF Equipment, RAF Operations and Exercises, the Mallett Student Trophy, Section Portfolio, Video and, of course, the Peoples’ Choice. Nearly 1500 images and more than 50 videos were submitted across the competition’s categories, 42
with the best nine images chosen by the judges going head-to-head in the Peoples’ Choice category, where the general public could vote via the Royal Air Force’s official Facebook page – and the winner was SAC Dafydd Lewis’ Flying Home (above right). With space limited, the “CONTACT Editor’s Choices” are presented in this spread, with our ‘winner’, Corporal Lee ‘Matty’ Matthews’ photo ‘GRIFFIN’ published on pages 8/9 of this magazine.
