Each competition is split into two sections. Open where you can submit a photo of any subject Topic where you can submit a photo of a given subject. The Topics are set at the beginning of each year and are listed in the Yearly Calendar so you can plan your shots in advance. Each entry into the competition earns points depending on its placing. These points accumulate and at the end of the year there is an overall winner. In addition to the Monthly Competitions, we also run a Quarterly Competition for Enlargements . Enlargements can be of any subject, but the photo must be enlarged and should be matted. These monthly competitions are judged for us by the Guest Speaker for that month.
