Voters need to provide their name and email, the charity registration number (20060329), select "Munster" as the location, and "Other" for the social theme.
A brief sentence explaining why the funding is deserved is also required. The closing date for votes is June 25.

Following the recent success of Maryann Heidtke with ‘The Shoemaker’, Killarney Camera Club has featured the runner-up in the Novice Environmental Portrait category.

Anne Kelly secured the second-place spot with a striking photograph of a skilled craftsman repairing spectacles.

Captured from the other side of a window, the image immediately draws the viewer in and beautifully portrays the subject at work.

At first glance, the photograph has an almost old-fashioned appearance. However, a closer look reveals an intriguing collection of glasses, with modern frames displayed alongside vintage and costume eyewear.

The image is a wonderful example of environmental portraiture, showing the craftsman surrounded by his tools and the finished pieces of his trade.
