There are about 8 competitions a year; members are encouraged to submit photos that are judged anonymously by a panel of judges. The Competitions are meant to be fun. Members are encouraged to compare their results to their own previous results and not to other fellow members. The goal is personal growth. As long as you as a photographer keep improving yourself you are on the right track. Example of Themes: Portraits, Landscapes, Macro, Abstract. Scores from individual photos are tabulated and the end of the year awards are based on the individuals total scores. It is best if you are aiming for one of those awards to submit the 3 photos per competition theme.
