We have been concerned that a relatively small number of photographers fill many of the ‘winning’ places in the competitions. Up until this year we tried the ‘Vito B’ competition (which excluded prior competition winners etc. from entering). But it didn’t get many entrants. Some thought it was a mistake to stop running this.
2f Should we reinstate the Vito-B?
YES
NO

The ’Seasons’ competition has not had large entry numbers and has proven to be tricky to pull together a good portfolio. Someone joining the club mid season is also, effectively, precluded from entering.

YES
NO
