Sharow National Photographic Competition

Announcing the Fourth Sharow National Photographic Competition for charity - all details can be found at: www.sharowphotocomp.co.uk

The website has been redesigned and updated for the competition in May 2009 there a new category for Photographic Societies and Clubs with a prize of £350 - just go to: www.sharowphotocomp.co.uk/clubs.php to find out more.

We thought you might like to have advance warning about this club category as it will require consideration being given to a potentially very wide interpretation of the subject matter. Contributing to a ‘club entry’ does not disqualify your members from entering any other category of the competition as individuals.

Good luck in your deliberations and many thanks to your members who entered this year’s successful competition. All previous results are published on the website.

Total competition prize money to be won in 2009: £1855
