To keep everything on an even playing field, there are a few rules around competition entries - but please don’t let these put you off!
If you have any queries just ask a member of the Committee.

General Rules
- All entries should carry the image title and your membership number only - do not identify prints or digital images with your name.
- All images must be the photographer’s own work
- Entries must be in the possession of the Competition Secretary by the published closing date. Late entries will not be accepted.
- You must be a member of the club to enter competitions

Specific rules - Prints

Specific rules - Digital Images
All images will be projected onto a black background

The judge of each competition will be asked to select a first, second and third placed image in each media type (plus any ‘highly commended’ entries) and decide which of the first placed images they deem to be ‘best overall’ - and hence the trophy winner.
Competition results will be displayed on the website.
