The Northern Counties Photographic Federation will be holding its Club Competition judging in Mid-February 2026. We have not received our club invitation yet; it typically arrives the second week of December. The competition entries close Mid-January 2026. Unfortunately, that leaves the Christmas & New Year period to collect, select, organise & submit our club’s 40 entry images.

In light of the tight time frame, we are requesting club members to submit their best Prints & PDI’s as soon as possible, so we can get ahead with the processing of our club entries before we break for the Christmas & New Year holidays.

Please bring prints to our club nights (a print box will be provided) & send PDI’s to the club webmaster (Steve Gray) at  webmasters.gpg@gmail.com

Print & PDI File sizes as per our club  internal  Competitions. All file must clearly indicate 1) Authors name, Club membership number, Title of image & competition it is entered for i.e. Print or PDI. Email transfer is preferred as WeTransfer’s currently expire after 3 days.

 

The basic format of the club competition based on last year’s rules are as follows:

Our club invitation is expected around 15th December 2025

Closing date for entries will be on or around 11th January 2026
