The entry must have been entered into:

• Colour EDI and Monochrome EDI images were entered in the Open EDI and Set Subject EDI sections of a 2025 monthly competition.
• Creative EDI image is any image featuring creative photo techniques (in-camera or post production, including multiple exposures, composites and highly manipulated images) that was entered into a 2025 monthly competition (EDI or the EDI version of a print) or the 2025 interclub creative competition.

Select your entries through the Competition upload system. As well as selecting your print entries in the upload system, also ensure that your print entries are placed in the print box on Tuesday 28 October 2025 at our November competition night.

We allow images to be altered prior to entry in the end of year competition (eg to incorporate comments from the judge).

To enter an altered image:

1. In the upload system select the image from the monthly competition as normal, then indicate via the dropdown that it will be altered for end of year.
2. Email your altered entry to the competition steward at comp@waverleycameraclub.org.

Last Wednesday we participated in the 34th Eastern Interclub run by Maroondah Photographic Society, three members of our club attended the competition awards night.

Nine clubs were involved, with Waverley coming 3rd in both the Open EDI and the Black and White EDI sections. Congratulations to all our members with an entry.

We were thrilled when Stephen Edmonds was awarded 2nd place in the open EDI section for his stunning image of an owl in flight. Congratulations!
