             Nicol awarded DPSSA (Vers)with DPSSA Mono

          PSSA members may apply for a Vers if they earned Honours in three different categories

          at the same level. Nicol du Toit this month earned DPSSA(Vers) when he was awarded
          DPSSA Mono, in addition to the DPSSA Colour and DPSSA Prints he was awarded ear-
          lier. He also earned DPSSA(Cls) by receiving 250 colour salon acceptances and APSSA
          with a panel accepted by the Honours Judges. We feature some of his mono images.

                                                                           How to gain PSSA Honours
