Weymouth Camera Club holds regular competitions. Club members can enter both print and digital images, and a different external judge, where available, is invited to judge each competition. Entries are scored and the member with the combined highest score, (the two lowest marks in both prints and DPI will be removed in this calculation), in the league rounds will become the Photographer of the Year.

However many members enter simply to get a critique and invaluable feedback from the judges in order to improve their photographic skills. There is no pressure on members to enter competitions. All photographs are judged anonymously.
