World Photographic Cup Finalist

Frances Litman — Thu, 23 Mar 2017 17:11:51 +0000

I was delighted to learn this image I took at Royal Roads on a client’s very wet wedding day was chosen to represent Canada at the World Photographic Cup competition held recently in Japan.

The World Photographic Cup was founded in 2013 as a cooperative effort by The Federation of European Photographers (FEP) and Professional Photographers of America (PPA). Its singular goal is to unite photographers internationally in a spirit of friendship and cooperation.

A Governing Committee from seven different countries conducts the ongoing affairs of the competition which is a multi-level process which begins with each country choosing 18 images (three in six different categories) to represent the country.

In Good Company

What an honour stand on the steps of the Legislative Buildings in my beautiful home city with the likes of The Honourable Elizabeth May, Green Party MP; Victoria City councillor and business woman extraordinaire Shellie Gudgeon; Port Angeles USA Deputy Mayor Patrick Downie; 5x Tedx speaker/new economy leader Donna Morton;
Butch Dick of the Songhees First Nations and in the company of runners gathered from all over the world, to receive the prestigious, international 2014 Sri Chinmoy Torch Bearer Award at the Sri-Chinmoy Oneness-Home Peace Run.

The Peace Run, now in its 27th year is the longest torch relay in the world and takes place in more than 100 countries on six continents. The Canadian run starts in Victoria as part of a 10,000 mile journey across North America in the spirit of peace and harmony. It does not seek to raise money or promote any political or religious cause, but is about spreading goodwill among people of all nations.

I’m grateful to Narmada Trausz, Vancouver Island Peace Run Coordinator, to have been nominated to receive this year’s Torch Award and was equally delighted to be in the company of fellow award recipient Donna Morton, and also accept a Torch Award on behalf of Nigel Seale (Founder of Earth Day Canada) and deliver his acceptance speech.

Thank you to everyone involved with the Creatively United for the Planet Earth Week Festival and for the nomination for the 2012 CRD Ecostar Community Leadership Award.

I’m truly honoured to be this year’s recipient and feel I share this award with the many people who volunteered, sponsored and supported this inaugural festival in support of more than 16 non-government organizations doing the hero work in our communities!

Thanks to Susan at the Sierra Club and Carolyn from the Garry Oak EcoSystem Recovery Team for being on-camera in support of my nomination and the fantastic team at the CRD for the video they produced as a result (see below)…not to mention the gala evening they put on for this year’s EcoStar winners catered by the fabulous Fairmont Empress Hotel.

Press And News Photographer Of The Year 2010

Frances Litman — Sun, 27 Mar 2011 12:11:37 +0000

“Winner: Frances Litman

A powerful and strong storytelling image, which makes a bold statement. The image also brought a tear to one of the judge’s eye. The use of subtle colours on the medals has given extra interest without detracting from the primary focal point.”

Colin Jones Societies Company Director with Frances Litman
