Competitions

Camera Clubs have traditionally run competitions for their members, and among groups of clubs, and most still do. They are fun and provide an incentive to study the work of others, to learn and so to do better. The analysis and assessment provided by judges can be a valuable source of self-improvement too.

Maidenhead Camera Club runs three main groups of competitions each season, two ‘open subject’ series for prints and projected images respectively, and annual competitions for various subjects and genres. The high scoring images are presented on this web site as Competition Images and the Competition Results are added as each season progresses. There are hundreds of good pictures in here!

All paid-up members may enter the Club competitions . There are Competition Rules and guidelines to help with choosing the right entry class, submitting entries and preparing high scoring print images for the web site.

There is a 'thumbnail' index to the current year's Projected Image entries - but be warned, it contains fairly large files and will work better for broadband users. If you want to think about requests for Second Innings following the AGM then this is where to look

We also take part in external competitions mainly under the auspices of CACC The Chilterns Association of Camera Clubs and have recently become involved with the inter-club competitions hosted by DSLR User Magazine.

For 2010 we will once again enter the DSLR User magazine 'Battle of the Clubs' competition but we will also host our own internal 2010 Club Challenge competition along the same lines.
