With more than half (54%) of the total print salon acceptances from Western Cape members and the Impala print trophy winner, Kim Stevens, from CTPS, it is clear that the Western Cape’s strength lies in prints. The 151 print points gained by members from the region – by far the highest of any region – contributed to the total of 3 053 points from Western Cape members in the 2019-20 Impala year.
Also so: New Impala Trophy rules
The audited Impala Trophy results were published this week on the PSSA website. This means that judging points were added, the points for more than three acceptances per image were discarded and the results of salon acceptances by non-PSSA members are no longer included in the logs.

Marleen la Grange from TPS (left) is the Western Cape’s top salon performer and Kim Stevens (right) from CTPS is the winner of the Impala Print Trophy.
This Impala year’s final top three print workers are Kim Stevens, Charlaine Gerber from Photo Challenge Club and myself, also from CTPS. Marleen la Grange from Tygberg Photographic Society (TPS), who retains her title as the Western Cape salon queen, placed #42 overall, is third in prints in the region and #4 in the country.
