Members can add entries with credits, which never expire. In months 6 and 12 after the Club opens, then every six months, the big contest replaces the monthly one, and it is open to everyone.
Do I compete against professionals?
No. The monthly contest is judged in three levels, separately: Beginner (started within the past 12 months), Intermediate (shoots in manual mode) and Advanced. You choose your level on each entry. Shortlisted photographers receive detailed written feedback, and the winners are critiqued live for members.
