Competitions
- Bi-monthly (every 2 months) competitions (may be adjusted occasionally depending on availability of a convenor)
- The bi-monthly competitions are OPEN – ie no set subject. There will be both an open and a set subject section (Surreal Landscapes) in the WCC-Geelong creative interclub.
- Entries submitted by the usual competition upload page https://upload.waverleycameraclub.org/
- The general rules are the same as last year. For within-club competitions we allow some acquired content, though preferably you will use your own photographically derived images, textures etc where possible. Acquired content should not be used for the Interclub competition.
- The general competition rules are in the by-laws https://www.waverleycameraclub.org/uploads/2023/01/WCC-By-Laws-Issue-4.pdf. Note in particular the section on Creative competitions in section E (page 3).
- I have made a post exploring competition entries and especially acquired content here: https://resources.waverleycameraclub.org/wcc-competition-entries/
