You do not need to be a member to attend. You only need to pay the annual dues if you want to submit print or digital images to our monthly contests.
To enter the DIGITAL competition, you must upload a 2MB (maximum) image on this page by the deadline specified in the email notice for the next competition. The page then automatically sends the images to our DIGITAL chairman for entry into the competition. You should get a reply in a day or so that your images have been received for judging.
Remember to follow all the rules for submitting a digital image. Entry rules can be found here.
