2025 L&CPU Individual Competition
The L&CPU Individual Competition will take place on 10th and 11th May. This competition is open to all club members and is free to enter, so it is an excellent opportunity to try out your images in an Exhibition style of competition. Entries can be made by individual members directly to the L&CPU portal, or entered via the External Competitions Secretary (Mike Williamson), using the L&CPU Image Uploader. Mike will arrange for collection of any print entries and their delivery to the L&CPU. Note that any prints accepted for the L&CPU Print Folios will not be returned for a year, and prints accepted for the inter-federation PAGB competition may not be returned for 2 years.
To allow time to compile and check entries, the Uploaders will close at 1am on 19th April, however after that date, members can still enter images directly to the L&CPU portal up to the 26th April.
Full rules and category definitions for the competition are available in the document below.
