Judging: Entries are judged by an external judge in the three sections, Novice, Intermediate and Advanced.

There will be a winner in each section and the trophy will be awarded to the best overall image submitted.
Former winners are asked to send us copies of their winning entries for the Club’s archives and website.
This year (2021) all our entries were online (because of COVID-19 restrictions), and the competition was judged by Kenny Goodison from Wexford Camera Club. Kenny specialises in nature and landscape photography and so he was well placed to give very constructive comments on the images entered this year.
