Entries for our end of year competition are due on Tuesday 27 October 2026. This is a best of images entered throughout the year, members select from their previous entries to enter the end of year competition sections:

• Two images for Open Print
• Two images for Colour EDI
• Two images for Monochrome EDI
• One image for Creative EDI

The entry must have been entered into:

• Open Print images were entered in the Open Print sections of a 2026 monthly competition.
• Colour EDI and Monochrome EDI images were entered in the Open EDI or Set Subject EDI sections of a 2026 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 2026 monthly competition (EDI or the EDI version of a print). This image cannot also be entered as an Open Print, Colour EDI, or Monochrome EDI.

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 27 October 2026 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).

5.c.1. Alterations are limited to ensure that the altered (EOY) version is clearly recognizable as a revision of the same image as entered in the monthly competitions. Conversions from colour to monochrome (or vice versa) are allowed.

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.

Set Subject definition:

Single, straight-out-of-camera image of any genre or subject with no post- production off-camera (including cropping, straightening, editing). Only converting to JPG and resizing to competition dimensions are permitted to be done off-camera. This is an opportunity to celebrate and recognise camera craft as well as novel in-camera techniques such as black & white, art filters, multi-exposure or focus stack, but only if your camera exports it as a single image file. Eg. You cannot do a focus stack which is 3 images and combine them later in editing software before submitting.

Another great evening for WCC at the Eastern Interclub competition last night, with some amazing images presented to the judge for consideration by all eight competing clubs.
