COMPETITIONS

This year we have simplified the 3 digital and print Competitions - now we only have Open or Set Subject.

The Annual Competition will be in two sections - Digital and Print. But please remember you cannot enter the same image as print and digital, it can only be entered once.

The season starts with a "Snap and Chap" Welcome Evening which ensures a fun start to the year. A selection of members images will also be exhibited.

The Ayers Trophy - which is upto 9 images on a 40 x 50 board will challenge the members again.

Annual Christmas Card Competition including Christmas party and a raffle

The Panel of prints -the yearly debate on how many images make a panel!
Or is it - lets just go out and shoot a complete panel in one go?
Definitely thought provoking..........
