Winchester Photographic Society’s Exhibitions
Annual Exhibition
Winchester Photographic Society has held exhibitions since 1925.
In earlier years the Society invited photographers, both members and non-members, to submit work for its exhibitions.
With the growth of the Society, following a successful pilot in 2016, our Annual Exhibition has restricted submissions to members only.
Please see Annual Exhibition Overview for information about this year’s Exhibition.
The Annual Exhibition is sometimes called the Annual Print Exhibition, or just the Print Exhibition.
Winchester National Exhibition
Our Winchester National Exhibition (see details) for Digital Photographic Images, first held in 2015, is open to any photographer resident in the United Kingdom, Channel Islands, Isle of Man, or BFPO addresses.
WNE is affiliated to British Photographic Exhibitions (BPE), with acceptances counting towards BPE Crown awards.
