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.
