20×16″ Print Competition

Enter the 20×16″ Competition – merited images will be displayed for 10,000+ visitors to view at The Novotel London West Hotel. The judging process is held in public during our annual photographic Convention, so photographers can watch the assessments take place; this in itself is an invaluable learning process. The winners will be announced at our prestigious Presentation Evening at the 2022 Convention in London.

All category and sub-category winners receive a prize and a trophy!

Judging will take place at the Novotel London West during the Convention. A truly informative and beneficial opportunity to learn from our peers.

Judging Dates and Times: Wednesday 16th – Thursday 17th March 2022
Judging Venue: The Novotel London West Hotel, 1 Shortlands, Hammersmith, London W6 8DR
(Please note due to the nature of this event timings may change)
