Competition entry is entirely optional. For those members who like to display their photographic talents, receive image appraisals, critique, recognition and even trophies and awards, ADAPS provides a stimulating and entertaining programme of photographic competitions
throughout the year.
Set Subject Competitions
From time to time we hold 'Set Subject' competitions, where a theme is chosen
and members then use their photographic endeavours to interpret that theme
in whatever creative way they choose. Past themes have included 'song titles',
'dereliction', 'sequences', etc. We also hold regular online competitions on our Forum.
Photo Battles
We often meet up with other local camera clubs to do battle. Each club enters
a set number of prints or digital images and these are assessed by an external
judge who awards marks. At the end of the competition the club with the highest
score has won the battle. It's all very friendly - but we hate to lose ;-)
Monthly Competitions
We hold a series of Monthly Competitions from September to February each year
where members may enter photographs covering any subject matter that they
like. Monthly Competitions are a great incentive to practise one's hobby and
get out and take some photographs. The Monthly Competitions season is spread
over six months in the style of a league table, with entries appraised by
a judge and marks awarded.
Annual Competition
At the end of the competition season each year we hold our Annual Competition
where members enter what they feel are their best works of the year. An external
judge is invited to assess each entry and to award trophies to the winners.
