Competition Info:

We host a competition each month via this website.  We invite local camera clubs to judge our competitions.  Each image is awarded up to 5 marks for each of the following aspects:

• Artistic Quality
• Technical Quality
• Originality/Creativity
• Impact
• Composition

The deadline for the competition is usually the 2nd Wednesday of the month.   Then, on the 4th Wednesday, we meet in person to view and critique all the images and reveal the results that the judging camera club awarded.

Competition only Members are allowed to enter all competitions.  Once the competition has been judged they will have access to view all the images online and see all the image scores. They are also welcome to attend the critique night on the 4th Wednesday of the month.
