Competitions at Otley Camera Club 2025 Season

Last week we introduced the fantastic line-up of speakers who will be joining us this season. This week, we’re turning the spotlight onto another key part of club life: our competitions.

Fourteen Competitions Ahead

Over the season, members will have the chance to take part in 14 competitions:

• 7 Print competitions

• 7 PDI (Projected Digital Image) competitions

Each competition is independently judged by a carefully selected external judge. This ensures fairness, fresh perspectives, and constructive critique from experts outside the club.

Why Enter Competitions?

Competitions are about far more than prizes or points—they are one of the best ways to develop your photography. By taking part, you’ll benefit from:

• Valuable feedback – gain insights from experienced judges who highlight strengths and suggest improvements.

• Technical and creative growth – learn how to refine your use of composition, light, and technique.

• Inspiration and motivation – discover new approaches and ideas through the work of fellow members.

• 
  

Many members find that entering competitions pushes them to try new styles, subjects, and techniques they might not otherwise explore.

A Supportive Environment

Whether you’re new to photography or a seasoned enthusiast, the competition environment at Otley Camera Club is welcoming and supportive. It’s about learning, sharing, and celebrating photography together.
