Each month, except December, the TOPG conducts photo competitions.Currently, we have two types of competitions,Digital Composition Challenges, where club members may submit up to two images for review by a judge, and Print Competitions, where club members may submit up to two prints and two digital images, or just digital images, for review by a judge. In either case, top ranking images, ones that receive a rating of Merit or High Merit are selected and displayed in the following galleries.
This gallery catalog covers our most recent contests. For earlier competitions, please see our companion catalog, Competition Winning Images Archives, where our older competition galleries are displayed.
