Competitions
Competitions are one of the club's major activities. They provide
a way for members to learn and grow as photographers, by providing
a means for members to have their work evaluated,
as well as the opportunity to observe the work of fellow members. For a description of the club's competitions and instructions on how to enter, see the Competitions page.
