CLUB COMPETITIONS
Five internal competitions are held throughout the season. Competition entries are welcomed from all club members in two sections:
Prints, and/or Digitally Projected Images (DPIs)
Generally, three of the competitions are 'open' (i.e. the author's own choice of subjects) and two are themed.
Members are encouraged to enter up to 3 Prints and up to 3 DPIs in each competition. These images may be colour, monochrome or a combination of the two. Entries must be the member’s own work, and can originate from a film or digital camera, or be prepared from scanned transparencies, negatives, photographic prints or as photograms. Note: Only fully-owned images may be submitted to the Club for competitions.
Please familiarise yourself with the PDF 'GUIDE FOR ENTRIES' before submitting images to the Competition Secretary
Entries for Open competitions should have been taken recently, or if older, should be substantially re-worked. Pictures for the themed competitions should have been taken since the last AGM, when the relevant subject was agreed.
N.B. As a result of travel restrictions during covid some latitude was allowed in respect of entries, In the interests of moving your photography forward you are encouraged to submit work that is as recent as feasible. This guidance will be amended end of 22-23 season.
