GUIDE to CLUB COMPETITION
​
Five competitions are held across the season and entries are welcomed from all club members in two sections:
Prints, and Projected Images (pi / dpi)
Projected Image competitions are based on a theme, whilst Print competition is 'open' (i.e. the author's own choice of subject).
​
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 - depending on any themed requirement. Entries must be the member’s own work: only fully-owned images may be submitted for competitions.
​
SEND YOUR ENTRIES to Jill Ming, Competition Secretary no later than the Sunday preceding a competition, using the following address:- longmyndcameraclub@gmail.com
​
Please familiarise yourself with the PDF 'GUIDE FOR ENTRIES' and the PDF 'RULES'
before submitting your entries.
​
​​
In the interests of moving your photography forward you are encouraged to submit work that is as recent as feasible, and ideally entries for themes should consist of images taken following the announcement of the theme (e.g. at the previous AGM)
