The competitions are held to encourage members to ‘get out and about’. Submissions, therefore, should preferably be recent, although not mandatory.

A floating cup will be awarded annually to the person gaining the most points in the period of the season (January to November) at the Clubs AGM meeting in January.


Monthly Competition


Monthly Competition entries will be rectangular in shape. When competition is printed entries will be ‘up to’ but no larger than 7"x5". If the image is submitted as 7"x5", it should be mounted in mounts provided by Broseley Camera Club. Where competition is digital, entries can be any size, but rectangular in shape, and emailed before the closing date specified.

Competition Subjects can be found in the current programme lists.

The image title should be presented clearly at the base of the mount for print, and each emailed entry, file should reflect the image title.

It is also optional to write (email) the camera settings on the back of the entry to aid with the ‘Critique Session’ at the end of each meeting.


Quarterly Competition


Quarterly Competition entries will be rectangular in shape, when printed, should be ‘up to’ but no larger than A4. These entries do not need to be mounted. For digital competitions entries can be any size but rectangular in shape.
