Competition Entry Rules
Up to two images may be submitted per competition.
Images for the Opening Shots and Image of the Year need to have been taken within the previous 12 months. Mounting boards will be available from the TPC on meeting evenings.
There is no ‘taken by’ time limit for the other competitions.
However, it is hoped that members will consider taking new images for the competitions and members presentations.
Entries that do not receive a placed award in a competition may be entered again in a future competition.
