Hello Members…It is time to put your thinking caps on and get ready for the External Trophy Competition. Then soon after that it will be time for the EOY Competition. (Details to come)

For this competition we will be looking for entries in the categories as listed on the poster.
Remember the Portrait and Humour categories require ’new images only’ and just as in Guild/PSA Competition 2 and 3 it means titles/images you’ve never used a the photo guild in any competition.

Guild/PSA Competition 3
Sunday, March 3, 2024 7:30 PM

I am sending this information that you can get started on your entries for the 3rd and final round of Guild/PSA competitions for the season. The usual categories are listed, and the Creative category is Guild only. All must be NEW images meaning you have not used them before in Guild Competitions.

And you had better find a location, the right temps and conditions and get out there to shoot 2 ‘Night’ images if you haven’t already got them in the can. Of course you can interpret that theme in whatever way you want…be creative and let’s see what comes in for that category! Images for this theme must have been shot after the 1st of September, 2023.

The Competition Review with the judges is on the 3rd of March! 👀

This upload deadline is the 18th of February @ 11:45 pm
