Anton Cashen, the director of Moore Stephens Trust Company Limited, said: "We're only too happy to provide sponsorship for the competition. We're sure it will be even more competitive than last year with judging by eminent and much respected UK photographic judge Christine Widdall, president of the Lancashire & Cheshire Photographic Union."

Eddie Fryer, president of the Western Photographic Society, said: "The club would like to give its sincere thanks to Moore Stephens Isle of Man for continuing to support our annual competition.

"We're excited about the event which will no doubt have some extremely high calibre entries. Christine will also judge entries from Moore Stephens Isle of Man as part of an informal contest."

The Western (IOM) Photographic Society was founded in 1979. It is affiliated to the Photographic Alliance of Great Britain through the Lancashire and Cheshire Photographic Union.
