Competition Summary (July
2021) Internal Competitions
League Competitions
The club runs League ('aggregate') competitions for both prints and projected digital images (‘PDIs’) throughout the year. In Prints, each member may enter up to 3 images in each of 4 rounds; the best 8 scores count towards the aggregate. In PDIs, each member may enter 2 images in each of 5 rounds; the best 7 scores count towards the aggregate. Each image may be submitted twice only in these rounds, whether in Print or PDI format.
Annual Competitions
These competitions are for the best Print and PDI of the year, and are usually held in April. Any image which has not previously been entered in an Annual Competition is eligible, subject to the normal rules. The Don Beney and Charles Mutton Cups These are 'themed' competitions, normally with the same ‘theme’. The theme for the year is selected at the previous AGM. The Beney Cup is for Prints and the Mutton cup for PDIs. Each member may enter up to 4 images in total. Andrich Trophy Each member may submit up to three PDI images, and will be allotted a minute to present each picture to the audience. The winner is selected by audience vote. Other Internal Competitions These are held on an ad hoc basis. Rules will be notified by the Internal Competition Secretary. Cup Winners and non Cup Winners In the Internal League and Annual competitions, two cups will be awarded in each format. A ‘Cup Winners’ cup will be awarded to the overall winner of the competition. A ‘Championship’ cup will be awarded to the highest scoring member who has not won an internal club competition in a previous season. Eligilibity for ‘Championship’ cups will be determined at the beginning of each competition season, normally in September. Winning a cup in the course of the year does not affect a member’s eligibility. External Competitions (for
Individual Members)
Spectrum Trophy and Heywood Trophy
These are both projected digital image competitions for individual members of three clubs: Aldershot Farnham and Fleet, Farnborough and Yateley. They are hosted by each club in rotation. Members may submit one image for each of these competitions with the Heywood being for any subject and the Spectrum being themed, the theme subjects being used in rotation. Members should be present personally or ensure another member is present to identify their entry and accept any award on their behalf. Detailed rules for these competitions and for the Molesworth and Rainbow Cups are found on the Farnborough CC website in the FCC Club Handbook. Molesworth and Rainbow Cups
These are individual print
competitions with similar rules to the Spectrum Trophy. Both are open
subject competitions. The Molesworth Cup is awarded for the best
monochrome print, and the Rainbow Cup for the best colour print.
Again, members may submit one image in each competition. Inter-club Competitions
