The club typically enters several external competitions and members are encouraged to submit work for consideration to represent the club in these. A selection committee, comprising some of the club’s established photographers and under the leadership of the External Competitions Secretary, selects images for the external competitions.
In order to increase the club’s presence on the circuit and increase the club’s chances of winning competitions members are requested to make their images available for selection. Volunteers to be on the selection committee are always welcome.
