[MORE INFO ABOUT THIS]

If you are interested in entering, email your images to [FILL THIS IN] or get them to Peder on a CD. Images must be in jpg format, sized to 1024x768, and have the title as the filename. They must be received by the first meeting each month. If we receive more than eight entries, the club will need to pick the best eight to send. If we receive less than eight entries, we will ask the makers of the top photos in our previous monthly competition permission to submit those to make up the difference.

For more information on any of these competitions ask a board member, or refer to the N4C Handbook.
