WTMC Photo Competition 2020

Covid-19 cannot stop the WTMC Photo Competition! It will be going ahead ONLINE via Google Hangouts at 7.30pm on Wednesday 2 September 2020. This means you can get yourself a cup of tea, sit back, and enjoy club members’ best photos beamed into your living room!

The judge this year will be Grant Newton again who in the past has offered valuable critical comment on every photo submitted so it is a great way to learn what makes a good photo and how yours could be improved.

The best photos will kindly be collated and submitted to the FMC Photo Competition by Tony G. Photographers behind the prize winners and runners-up submitted to the FMC competition are eligible this year to some very generous prizes – including a 2 week voyage to the NZ Sub-Antarctic Islands.

For full information on categories visit the FMC website.
