May Odd One Out Mono

The theme of May’s projected image competition was Odd One Out.

Darren Worthy’s quirky cat mugs and Neil Frith’s bulbs and sand both came joint 1st.

Five ceramic mugs with stylised cat faces sit side by side; four are white with matching closed‑eye expressions, while the central black mug features one open eye, creating a playful contrast

A horizontal row of five bulbs sits against a black background; four are clear with visible filaments, while the central bulb is opaque and filled with textured layers of sand

It was also a close race for third place, with Dave Jones’ spiky and smooth still life, and Nick Wheat’s Red Arrows and guest both coming joint 3rd.
