Competition: Winter Exhibition 2026 (Members Only)
The theme for the 2026 Winter Exhibition Photography Competition is:
“Light & Dark” as a Diptych
(Two photographs that relate to each other as a pair)
As before, competition images will be displayed individually in simple, glassless frames. This allows judging to focus solely on the quality, creativity and presentation of the photographs themselves, rather than the influence of framing or display.
Printed photographs may have a small border around the image, with a maximum width of 6mm. This is because the frames may slightly crop the image if the subject is positioned close to the edges.
