We run a number of Photographic Competitions, organised by our Competition Secretary.
If you have any questions, or want more information about what we do, you can get in touch by emailing one of the committee members.
Please scroll down, or click here for our competition rules.
An external Judge awards points 1 – 20 and irrespective of how many photos you have submitted, the score of the highest one is the only one counted.
The scores are accumulated over the four heats so that an overall winner is decided at the end of the year.
No entry should be more than three years old at the time of use, and can only be used in one season’s competitions.
Photos may be entered in one or more heats, but re- entries must not exceed 50%.
i.e. If you enter four photos, up to two of them can be entries from a previous heat.
Entering into the first heat commits the author to the rest of the subsequent heats.
All submissions to this competition must be less than one year old and must not have appeared in any other Grantham Photographic Society competition.
This competition is an internally run Club competition, and will be judged by Mike Armstrong. The judging will be based on 3 criteria: Imagination and interpretation of the subject, Technical skill, and overall appeal. Your marks will be added up after the 2nd competition, and a winner decided.
The idea is to send you out to think about what you're photographing, and enable everyone regardless of ability to do well. There will be a small prize for the winner after the last "3 Of a Kind" Competition!
This will be run twice, on the following dates, with the following themes:
**December 13th - Theme = TRANSPORT
