Nearly every month has a Print of the Month and/or Projected Image of the Month (aka Slide of the Month) competition.  Please note: when we are having Zoom meetings, all competitions will be for Projected Images.

These are a great chance to have your work critiqued by an experienced club member. Members are able to submit one image per meeting.  Comments and feedback are given for all images submitted.  1st, 2nd and 3rd placings are awarded, with points being aggregated towards annual trophies.

Current points standings can be viewed here.

The Society Rules and Bylaws (revised Aug 2021) detail the requirements for the conduct of Society Monthly Competitions.  Members should ensure they are familiar with these rules prior to entering images into Society
