Orange Focus Is Literally On The Twelfth

Article 4 ~ October 2004

The Orange Order has focused on the Twelfth of July parades as the subject for a photographic competition and exhibition, and the results provide many different interpretations of what the Twelfth means to people within and outside the Orange Institution.

Judges were given a considerable headache by the scope and quality of the entries for the competition.

But the final marks showed that Co. Armagh - the home of Orangeism - had led the way when it came to the Orange In Focus exhibition. The winner of the event is Mrs. Jennifer McCusker of Portadown, with a photo of the drums of Boconnell LOL on parade at the Twelfth in Killylea in 2000. Second place went to Alan Weir of Banbridge with a study of a Lambeg drummer and third was Margaret Gregg of Bangor with her photo of Cottown Pipe Band on parade through the town.

Director of Services David Hume said: "This was a first attempt at highlighting the photographic talents of our community as well as the colour of the Twelfth, and we look forward to an excellent photographic exhibition which can go on display across the Province."

The event was judged by a panel of independent judges and was grant funded by the Ulster-Scots Agency and Community Relations Council. Private sponsorship has been provided by S.D. Kells, Victor Stewart Enterprises and Nelson-Singleton Solicitors.
