Programme 2020-2021
We offer both a mixture of speaker nights , club competitions and open evenings.
First time Visitor – We are here to help improve your photography
Come along and try a session to see how it all works. At the club we believe that the best way to be judged is in relation to everyone else so we do not have a separate beginners section but at the end of the season, an award is given to the best beginner of the season. If you are unsure about entering your work in competition with other members then do not be afraid of asking for advice or bring your work along on a club night.
During the season, the club runs various competitions on a monthly basis which give members an opportunity to see their work compared to that of fellow members by an outside independent judge who gives each image a mark out of 20.
There are 4 categories, monochrome and colour print, mono and colour projected digital image (PDI). Members are allowed 1 entry in each category. There are 6 competitions and one themed competition. Scoring uses the best 4 of the competitions plus the theme so the total is out of 100.
Awards are given to winners in each category. Additionally the President has at the option of awarding at their discretion a Best Beginner and Best All-rounder.
There is also the Best of Beeston competition when members choose 4 out of 6 categories to enter digital images.
Finally there is the Hilda Thurman competition when the audience are the judges and vote for their favourite print from members pictures.
The results and winning images can be found under the COMPETITIONS section.
