Competitions at Leyland Photographic Society
Internal Competitions – Open Competitions
Regular competitions, judged by an experienced independent adjudicator are a welcome opportunity to improve the quality and variety of photographs made by all members. These competitions are split into two ‘levels’: Members and Advanced so whatever your level of skill your photographs can be judged against people of a similar ability.
Photographs can be submitted in either print or digital image format so even if you don’t have a printer you can still take part.
Themes
At each monthly competiton there is a “Theme” section open to all members of the club (i.e. no distinction between Advanced and Member sections).
Please note:
From 2018 season onwards all entries are to be presented in PDI format only at 1600×1200 in sRGB colourspace, there will be no print section.

Monthly Competiton 3: Farming
Monthly Competiton 4: Decay
