Competitions

The club offers a number of ways for members to have their work evaluated. There are formal competitions, judged by professionals, there are a monthly digital image competitions, judged by club members, and there are ocassional critiques. These critiques offer an opportunity for a discussion between a judge, the maker and attending club members. The critique takes the form of a judged competition but no points are assigned and the maker may participate.
All club members are encouraged to participate in the competitions.
