Competitions
Each month we will normally hold a print competition and a
projected image and slide competition for the members. These will be
digital or traditional prints, digital format photos and traditional slides in
both mono and colour. A qualified independent judge will comment on and
mark these prints out of ten. At the next Annual General Meeting
trophies are presented to the winners.
