Here are the KCPS Competition Rules (pdf file).

There are three entry submission forms for submitting to the Salons:

  1. Digital entry form – click here.
  2. Print entry form (for Summer, Autumn and Spring) – click here.
  3. Winter Print Salon / Frank Hinchcliff entry form – click here

These will enable you to directly upload your Digital Image entries, and provide all details in relation to your salon entry. Online registrations of your print entries is encouraged and preferred as it cuts down on administration overhead. The submission deadlines for online entries of both digitals and prints is the same. See the KCPS Competition Rules link above for more details.

Unlike in previous years, we will not be using the salon entry forms for submission of images to be considered for the Wellington Interclub Print Battle – instead we will be using a specialised form, which will be opened up as soon as this year’s themes are published. (see below).

You will receive an email acknowledgement of your entry.

Frank Hinchcliff Print Salon

A member may submit one or two prints. The images must have been captured within the last two years. There is no set theme. The entries must not have been submitted to a previous KCPS Salon or Frank Hinchcliff competition, and may not be submitted to subsequent KCPS Salons. (They may, however be submitted to external competitions and salons)

The hand in date for this is the 14th July 2025.

North Island Regional Interclub Salon

Submit Images to be considered for inclusion in the KCPS club entry to this salon. We have to get our entry in by the 20th August, so please submit by the 10th August so that we have time to evaluate all the entries.

Informal Image Review

Not quite ready to enter images for a salon? For friendly and constructive feedback on your photos, enter them here for an informal review by other club members. These are held fairly regularly on some club nights or development nights (if time permits) – check the calendar or emails for the date of the next session.

KCPS General Purpose Image Entry Form

This form is a general and multi-purpose image entry form. Its main use is to deal with one-off image entry requirements without having to set up a bespoke form for each. The form requires that a “Reason for Entry” is entered before images can be submitted. Choose one of the specifics from the drop down menu or choose “other”, which will require you to enter something in the comment box.
