Nearly every month has a Print of the Month and/or Projected Image of the Month competition.
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.
