CLUB COMPETITIONS

Club competitions are a valuable part of the Mundaring Camera Club.
They give members the opportunity to receive feedback, view other members’ work, develop their photographic eye and grow in confidence.

It can feel daunting at first to have your images reviewed, but competitions are run in a friendly and supportive environment. The aim is to help members learn what works well, understand common pitfalls, and continue developing their own style.

Competitions also encourage members to try new subjects, select their strongest images and build confidence to enter local, regional or wider photographic competitions.

Monthly competition format:
Monthly competitions run from February to November. They are judged by independent judges who are encouraged to provide helpful comments on each image during the meeting. This feedback is one of the most valuable parts of the
competition process.
Members may enter multiple categories, subject to the current competition rules.
We are one of the rare photography clubs which offer both digital and print entries at each of our monthly meetings.

Awards and feedback:
The club follows the Western Australian Photographic Judges Association's scoring system.

Awards include:

A Gold or Silver award can also indicate that an image is suitable for entry into higher-level competitions.
A Merit is automatically given to an image to encourage participation.

Member choice
Members also have the opportunity to vote for their preferred images on the competition night. This gives everyone the chance to take part, view the images closely and develop their own photographic judgement.

Who can enter?
Only financial members of the club can enter monthly competitions.

Detailed competition rules, digital submission requirements, print entry requirements and current set subjects are available to members through the member area.

The club offers both digital projected and print categories:

Open Category
