  • Each month a photographer may submit a maximum of four (4) photographs
  • A maximum number of two (2) photographs may be submitted in the following categories:
    • Set Subject: each month’s submission is allocated a specific set theme. The set subject themes are voted for by the club members on an annual basis and provided in January each year. For the list of themes for this year please see the top of this page. Photos entered in this category must have been taken within the previous 12 months.
    • Members Challenge: an open category that may contain any subject. This is your chance to get creative and stretch your photography skills. The photos entered in this category must have been taken during the previous 3 months.
  • If you submit four images, at least one of them must be monochrome. If you fail to submit a monochrome your lowest scoring image will be deducted from your total score for the year.
