2024 CSPC Competitions are Ready

Hi Creative shots Photo Club Members,

All the 2024 CSPC club competitions have been setup in My Photo Club and are ready for you to submit your images. Entries for the February 2024 competition close at midnight on 17 January, the same night as the information meeting.

CSPC club competitions offer an opportunity to challenge yourself and showcase your photography no matter what your level of experience and we encourage you all to enter your images. More information is in the Club Competitions & Guidelines post.

My Photo Club allows us to setup the competitions in advance so you can upload images whenever you are ready, which is very helpful if you know you will be away. A list of the competition months, set subjects and due dates is below for your information. You can also revisit the page as often as you need to amend your entries up until the closing date. Competition results and the judge’s critique will be discussed at the information meeting for that month’s competition.

To enter the competition click on the grey MEMBERS button and select the CSPC COMPETITION you wish to upload images for. The upload form checks to ensure the image is within the correct size requirements but if not, it allows you to fix it and re-upload the image.

For information on how to upload your images click on the pink ENTRY HELP button for guidance. To view the CSPC Competition Guidelines click on the orange CLICK HERE TO VIEW COMPETITION RULES AND DEFINITIONS button.

Please contact me by email to comps@creativeshots.com.au if you have any questions or concerns about uploading your images or the competitions in general.
