Clip-up Night a Great Success


A night aimed at providing photographers and illustrators with a location to display their work boundary-free went off without a hitch and organizers at the event crowned their first ever Prairies "Golden Clip" award winner.

Clip-up night, held at the beginning of June, was put on by the Canadian Association of Photographers and Illustrators in Communications (CAPIC) in an attempt to give artists a fun environment in which to create their work.

"As commercial photographers and illustrators, we tend to let paying work take over our creativity," said an organizer in a statement on the ClipUp website. "We rarely do work simply for ourselves, or simply for the fun of it. ClipUp is a unique and casual photo show that provides our members with a fantastic opportunity to experiment with new techniques and styles."

The event was held as part of an Xchange night series put on by the Prairies chapter of CAPIC and was the first ClipUp event put on by the chapter.

The "Golden Clip" trophy was awarded to John Gaucher for his interpretation of the theme 'Transform'. Greg Gerla received second place with Grant Waddell coming in third.
