Competition Rules
This page contains the competition rules for internal competitions at the club, together with guidelines for submitting prints and digital files. Please read these guidelines carefully before submitting your photos. If you need any clarification of these rules, please ask any member of the committee, who will be pleased to help.
WPC organises competitions for its members on a monthly basis, as well as special annual competitions held at the end of the season. Competitions are open to Club Members only.
The main benefit to people submitting their photos is to obtain an independent appraisal of their work and learn how to improve their photography. As such, a ‘competition’ does not need to be entered for competitive reasons: you can enter simply to obtain some useful feedback about your work.
Photos are assessed by an external judge recommended by the Chiltern Association of Camera Clubs (CACC). Judges will be experienced photographers who have received specific training, organised by the CACC, to ensure that common criteria are used.
In monthly competitions, marks are awarded out of 20 for each photograph; for annual competitions the judge simply chooses the ‘best’ photo or portfolio.
Each monthly competition will either have a nominated 'theme', or be classified as ‘no set subject’ meaning that you can enter any photograph you wish.
Marks awarded at monthly competitions are accumulated during the season and the person with the most marks in each section at the end of the season is awarded a trophy. Individual trophies for the annual competitions are also awarded.
