Tonight is the judging of the 2025/26 Sleep Trophy

Tonight we have the judging of The Sleep Trophy which is a triptych competition i.e three related images presented as a single panel. The judge is Marko Dutka, well known to the club and an excellent photographer in his own right. Triptychs are tricky because the photographer not only has to find three images that work together, the way the images are displayed is also important. If you want to come along, watch the competition judging, chat to members and enjoy a cup of tea, doors open at 7pm at the Methodist Hall behind the Church in Palace Avenue, Paignton. There's a modest fee of £3.00 to cover entry. Hope to see you there.

Section 2 2025/26 Results PRINTS Competition

Monday night saw the second of our competitions, this one being an OPEN theme, ie anything goes. Unlike the Section 1 Competition, this was a print competition and entries were received across all three groups within the club. As usual the standard throughout the groups was very high and placings were keenly contested. You can see the placed and highly commended entries in our competitions gallery.

James Wilson Trophy Competition Season 2025/26

Monday night saw the third of our competitions, this one being the James Wilson Trophy, an OPEN theme where anything goes. Unlike the Section 1 and Section 2 competitions, members compete against each other irrespective of their experience or standing in the club. In truth, it's an opportunity for some of our newer members to knock the big dogs off their perches and take all the glory. As usual, the standard was very high and as such, placings were keenly contested. You can see the placed and highly commended entries in our competitions gallery.
