Competition Diary


There will be five competitions in the 2026/27 season.

The themed competitions will be PDI-only. The themes are:

  • The Built Environment
  • Sport
  • Decay

The two Open Competitions will be in two sections, PDI and Print.

In this second Open, members will be allowed to re-enter a previously entered PDI as a Print but will not be allowed to re-enter a previously entered Print from the first Open competition, nor to re-enter a PDI from a previous competition.

All five competitions count towards the “Photographer of the Year” award.

To get around this upload fewer images at a time. Select and upload 1 or 2 images, submit these and see if that works. If so click the Edit button and you can upload more images. If this doesn’t fix things email webmaster@frodsham.photos.
