*A Brief
Skibneski & Mallas Trophy History
.....From
a correspondence with William D. Griffin, FPSA, NJFC on May
23, 2003...
I
met Clem Skibneski sometime around 1970.
He was then a member of Vailsburg CC.
At the time I was teaching several adult school photography classes,
and giving slide shows to the various clubs.
Clem phoned to ask if I would tutor him individually in Nature photography,
which I agreed to. That winter/spring
around 1970, he and his wife came to my home three or four Sundays to learn
how to take photos of birds at a window feeder.
Again several times the following summer he came to photograph butterflies
and other insects in my garden. When
Clem died (about 1979 or 80), his wife created a memorial to him by funding
the Skibneski Trophy with the Federation.
The first Skibneski contest was in May of 1980 and it's been held
ever since.
The Vailsburg
CC still has a Skibneski Award for the "Best Story Telling Nature Slide"
(info supplied by Vailsburg CC).
Somewhere
in the mid-1960's an annual contest for the Top color slide was started
as the Mallas Trophy. This
trophy was funded ,for many years, by Dr. William Mallas and his wife Mary.
Both were highly successful members of Vailsburg CC.
They lived on the hilltop over-looking West Orange.
He was a dentist with an office at the corner of Broad & Market
Streets in Newark. Sometime
in the 1970's they moved to Florida.
Sometime in the 1980's, the name of the Annual Pictorial Slide (Mallas)
contest was changed to "TOPS".
