Update to Competition rules

Amendments to the competition rules for the 2026/2027 season:

Following some member feedback and discussions within the committee we have decided to amend the rules for all competitions for the 2026/2027.

all images must have been taken within 2 years of the competition in which the image is entered. So if a competition is taking place on 1st October 2026 then only image taken on or after 1st October 2024 are eligible. Please note that if an image is a "composite" then each individual part of that composite is subject to those same rules.

An image or one ‘significantly similar’ that has been entered in a previous monthly competition at this society (or another PAGB affiliated club or society) is ineligible, in any form with the exception of one ‘wildcard’ entry per year. Entry of an image in any other competition does not affect its eligibility.

We hope, with these rule changes to make the competitions a little more exciting, competitive and fair.

Please would you also direct members to the website where the complete amended rules may be viewed.

Here's something to keep you busy over the summer break.

Thanks to Ian for taking on the role of regular projectionist and making improvements to a long established system of actually getting members images onto the screen.

My thanks go to all who contributed images and supported the group throughout the season.

Lastly, the themes chosen for the first meeting of next season.(date has yet to be fixed).
1. (Up to) 10 images from the Summer. Whatever you choose! The good, the brilliant, the bad, what went wrong, how do fix this, I pressed that and got this, whatever…………...
2. Silhouettes.

I'm really excited to be promoting my next exhibition UNMASKED, a mental health photography exhibition taking place on Thursday 10th September, 6:00pm–9:00pm at the Martin Harris Centre, University of Manchester.

The exhibition coincides with World Suicide Prevention Day and has been created to encourage more open conversations around mental health, challenge stigma, and provide a platform for people with lived experience to share their stories.

UNMASKED brings together powerful photography, personal stories, and creative expression. Every image has been self-directed by the participant, representing their own mental health journey, alongside a written reflection explaining the story behind the photograph.

The evening will also include a live Q&A panel featuring:

• A mental health professional
• A project participant with lived experience
• Photographer myself, sharing the creative process behind the images

The event is completely non-profit, with all proceeds going towards venue hire and prints.

Tickets are available here.

I’ve attached the poster for the event and would be incredibly grateful for any support you can offer in helping us spread the word with your camera club.

I believe this will be my best exhibition to date, one not to be missed. This would be a great evening for your community.  

If you need anymore information do get in touch. 

Kind Regards,

Justin

Hello

Hope you are well. I just wondered if you would be able to let people know at your club about a photography exhibition I am having. It is of a project to photograph every county in England and is in September near Congleton. Details can be found here - https://www.nigeldanson.com/discoveringengland-exhibition

Thanks a lot.

Nigel
