Photo Of The Year

Our programme includes an evening set aside to determine the best images of the year.

Monochrome Print of the Year. The Ingall Cup.

Colour Print of the Year. The Wright Trophy.

Projected Image of the Year. The Williams Cup.

Each member can enter up to three images into each category. The judge will determine the top three images in each section along with those he feels need recognition as Highly Commended. 

Each year, we have a day out at a pre-determined venue to take images to enter into our annual Rally Competition.

The Rally Projected Image Competition. The Les Butcher Memorial Shield

The Rally Print Competition. The Rally Print Trophy.

Each member can enter up to four images into each category for the Rally Competition. 

Our final individual internal competition is our Panel of Six evening.

The Panel of Six Projected Images. The Mitchell Cup.

As the title indicates this is a projected image only competition. Each member can enter up to three panel sets. Each set contains an initial compilation panel of six images followed by the individual images and a closing image repeat of the initial panel. The six images must have a common theme. A short introduction of not more than fifty words must be entered with the panel to explain the theme of the panel set. 

Our inter-club External evening is a monochrome competition held on the first Tuesday of March each year, 'The Braintree Shield'.  We invite ten other clubs from the area to compete their images. The Shield is presented to the Club with the highest accumulative score from their six entered images.

'The Mike Childs Trophy' is awarded to the best image on the night.
