External Competitions: 2025 - 2026

Similar to the Internal Competitions page, this page will be grouped by competition title and date, and then further segregated by Themed/Open, as appropriate. Submitted images should be JPEGs with a maximum width of 1600 pixels (for landscape oriented images), or a maximum height of 1200 pixels (for portrait). Square format should be sized 1200 x 1200. The Competition Secretary will collate the images and will forward to the Selection Committee organiser for selection. The SC organiser will advise the CS of the final selection, and the CS will forward those images to the hosting club by the stipulated deadline. After the competition the CS will upload all the selected images to this page, along with scores and judges' rankings. After a period of time, the CS will remove the non placed images.
