Images must be solely the work of the author. An image can only be entered once in Quarterly Competitions. PDI’s cannot be entered again as Prints or vice versa. Prints or PDI’s entered in Quarterly competitions may be entered only once in the Brian Hodgson Cup and Photograph of the Year.
Marks for quarterly competitions are given out of 20 for each entry and at the end of the season trophies are awarded to those members attaining the highest overall totals in each category, with the Chandler Trophy being awarded to the member with the highest total in the prints and PDI’s combined.
Up to 3 images can be entered into each competition. Images entered for set subject competitions must meet the theme of that subject. Where judges feel that images do not meet the theme they will offer comments on the technical merit of the image but will award only low marks.
