Photography Competition
The Societies’ monthly online competition is a ‘must’ for all our members.
There are 27 categories that cover all aspects of photography and it is judged
by some of the most esteemed Fellow, Master and Grand Master photographers in
the UK and across the world. All entries which gain the coveted ‘Gold’ award are
put forward to our annual judging and, if deemed to be the best, can gain their
maker a prestigious ‘Photographer of the Year’ Award within its category at our
annual Awards Dinner.
The closing date for the monthly competition is the last day of each month; it
runs every month except December. All the awards for this competition are
presented at the annual Awards Dinner in January at the Convention.

Each month one of the Gold images is selected as the Judges' Choice Award.
