Photography News is proud to launch our inaugural Camera Club of the Year competition, in association with Canon. Camera Club of the Year is a great way to stimulate creativity in your club and win some top prizes. The contest starts this month with the first of the five rounds. Round 1’s theme is Water and the four other themes will be announced over the coming months. For each theme we want five images from five different club members (one image per member). Each image will be marked out of 20 points so the maximum any club can score in a month is 100 points. After the five rounds the club with most points will be declared the winner and scoop the prize of a Canon XEED WUX450 projector, a day with David Noton and 25 Irista Value packages. We’ll also publish a detailed profile of the winning club in PN . We’ll also feature our favourite photo entered each month, as our Image of the Month. All camera clubs, groups and societies, whether online or works, affiliated or not, may enter. Clubs can enter at
