Themed competitions
Topics for all the themed competitions to be chosen at the start of the season to give everyone a chance to get high quality images in time.
Proposer: Sue Snelson, Seconder: Clive Chater.
First competition
First competition of the season to be fixed as a more interactive/bonding competition which for now can be on Song Titles. This has previously been very popular, and will help embed new members.
Proposer: Clive Chater, Seconder: Sue Snelson.
Newcomers' Trophy
Newcomers' trophy which is limited to members who have only been members within the first two seasons and have not been members of other camera clubs previously. This will be awarded to the highest place member who meets this criteria.
Proposer: Jed Thornley, Seconder: Simon Richards.
Second print themed competition
Second Print Challenge Themed competition to go alongside the first Print League competition.
Proposer: Clive Chater, Seconder: Jed Thornley.
Panel of Three Images Competition
To go alongside the first Print League competition, would be a "Set of Three Prints" in which the three images should work together.
Proposer: Simon Richards, Seconder: Steve Kirkby
Print entries increased
Three Prints can be entered per Print tournament (both League and Challenge competitions). The Colour and Black & White Print trophies will still be the top four images selected, whilst the overall Print winner will be from all Prints used.
Proposer: Clive Chater, Seconder: Jed Thornley.

Revise the league awards to Monochrome, Colour and Overall
Background: Currently a monochrome competition is run within the league competitions requiring at least 4 of the images submitted to be in mono, the overall league winner is awarded the colour trophy even though a majority (or all) of the league submissions could have been in mono. It also means that people entering mono images can currently win two competitions, whereas those entering all colour images into the same competition can only win one. The aim of this proposal is to correct this imbalance.
Proposal
That both Print & PDI leagues have 3 possible winners:
- Highest scoring 4 mono images (Norman Rogers Cup for mono prints & Shirley Finden Cup for mono PDIs)
- Highest scoring 4 colour images (ACC Tankard for colour prints & The Joyce Vincent Memorial Cup for colour PDIs)
- Overall winner of each league (all 8 images) irrespective of whether they are mono or colour (Certificate or trophy)
This would ensure that colour and mono images are treated equally, using a certificate for the two overall league winners would potentially incur no additional cost.

Challenge competitions
Proposal
Retain the new style challenges which replaced Children In View and Homes & Gardens this season as a one-year trial. This affects the 3 PDI challenges and the print challenge. Themes to be chosen by member submission/vote 6 weeks prior to the competition date. All challenge competitions including the portrait print competition must be new work (not used in the leagues or other challenges).
