Competition Definitions
End Of Year Images
For our end of year competition we would love to see the best you have produced throughout 2022. Please select two of your best EDPI and two best Prints that have been submitted to any competition or activity in the club during the year. You can make adjustments/enhancements to these images from when they were first submitted based on any suggestions from our judges, or feedback from club members such as in the Cluster image groups.
Competition 1 – The Moment
It’s not just a moment, but the decisive moment. Which means that what you are
experiencing in the image is not only the events that occurred, but the choices of the
photographer who captured it.

Moments can cover a range of ideas
• A specific event: personal or political
• Heroic moments
• Frozen moments or snapshots
• Moments in time passing
• Documenting the everyday

photographer
