2024 TTC Photo competition
Tuesday 20th August 2024
Entries close on 6th August.
As usual, we will show as many entries as we can at this year’s photo competition on Tuesday 20th August, within the constraints of a club night meeting. All winning entries will be featured on the club's website.
Each category winner will receive a CHAMPION certificate.
Two entries from each category will be submitted to FMC as entries in the 2024 FMC Photo Competition.
These will be selected by the organisers and may differ from the club competition winners as they must comply with FMC criteria.
