  2. Entrants: Entry is open to any photographer, amateur or professional, who is resident in the United Kingdom, Channel Islands, isle of Man, and also BFPO addresses.
  3. Entry Method: Entry is by digital upload only via Winchester Photographic Society’s website. Entries will be accepted between 1 May and 30 June 2023 or midnight after the 3000th entry is received, whichever is sooner. Entries must include payment of the appropriate entry fee by PayPal at the time of submission.
    You do not have to complete your entire exhibition entry in one session. Our software allows you to upload images, save them and return at a later date (within the entry period as defined above) to amend/delete/add more images.
    Please take care to enter your image titles and personal details accurately, as these will be printed in the catalogue exactly as entered.
  4. Entry Fee: £1.50 per image; minimum fee of £6.00.
    Payable via PayPal only.
  5. Classes: There are five classes:
    • Pictorial Colour: Colour Images on any subject and of any style will be judged on pictorial merit (i.e. the use of the photographic medium as an art form). The emphasis is on interest, visual impact, composition and technical excellence. Images may be manipulated in camera or on the computer, but ‘altered reality’ images that have been visibly manipulated should be submitted in the Creative section.
    • Pictorial Monochrome: Monochrome Images (one colour plus white) on any subject and of any style will be judged on pictorial merit (i.e. the use of the photographic medium as an art form). The emphasis is on interest, visual impact, composition and technical excellence. Images may be manipulated in camera or on the computer, but ‘altered reality’ images that have been visibly manipulated should be submitted in the Creative section.
    • Scapes: Land, sea or urban views. People or animals may be included but should not form the main subject of the image.
    • Nature: As defined by the Photographic Alliance of Great Britain (PAGB) in their 2020 update</
