Programme for 2025/26
Welcome to our programme for the 2026/27 season. We hope you find it of interest.
A word about the 'challenges'. These are intended to be light hearted, not too competitive and to encourage members to get out and use their cameras/mobile phones.
Members will be asked to submit two ‘open subject’ images, taken in the preceding four weeks, for the “Monthly Challenges”. These will be reviewed and scored by the members. At the end of the season the member with the most points wins the ‘DPI of the Year’ trophy. Additionally, new for this year, there are three ‘themes’ and members may enter two images to be reviewed and critiqued. Also, suggested by our member Andy Rose, members are asked to choose a subject/theme at the beginning of the season and take 6 images over the course of the season to be reviewed at the AGM.
