2024 Inter-Club Championships

​

The WCPF Inter-Club Championships consists of two competitions one for Digital Images (previously DPIC) and one for Prints (previously the Inter-Club Print).  Each competition within the Championship has its own entry rules, is judged separately, and has its own awards.  The two competitions will be run as a combined event, judged on the same day using the same judges. The scoring and results will be presented as a ‘live’ show in front of an audience of club members at the Corn Exchange in Exeter on Sunday February 4th.

​

The WCPF Inter-Club Championships are open to any club with a paid up affiliation to the WCPF.  A photographers images may only be entered by 1 club.
