The first competition of the season. This is a PDI-only competition (i.e. no print section).

For “People”, images can focus on individuals or groups, highlighting human expressions, emotions, culture, or interactions. The scope includes posed portraits, candid shots, and documentary styles, aiming to tell stories of the human experience.
The judge for this competition will be Miles Turnbull CPAGB, BPE1

The third competition of the season. This is a PDI-only competition (i.e. no print section).
The theme is “Motion” and we have decided this season to give a steer on what is intended so that you can more easily judge whether your entries are acceptable or within scope for this theme.
For “Motion”, images should capture movement within the frame, either by freezing action at a precise moment or by using techniques like motion blur or intentional camera movement to convey a sense of speed, energy, or flow.
Judge to be confirmed.
Good luck!
The fourth competition of the season. This is a PDI-only competition (i.e. no print section).
The theme is “Minimalist” and we have decided this season to give a steer on what is intended so that you can more easily judge whether your entries are acceptable or within scope for this theme.
For “Minimilist”, images must showcase simplicity by using a limited number of visual elements in the frame and also demonstrate a clean composition. Focus on space, form, negative space, a strong subject and subtle detail. Images should create impact through restraint, drawing attention to form, colour, or texture without distraction.
The judge for this competition is Susie Freeman.
Good luck!
