Provisional Date for PAGB Awards Adjudication for Prints
15th Jul
Given the delay to the SPF Print Championship this year, with it only closing 30th April, this necessitated a delay to the opening of the SPF Interim Annual Portfolios Competition to avoid confusion, and double workload for Clubs and SPF alike. All Three Sections will be Judged using the uploaded Digital Files therefore no prints to be submitted to the SPF. The SPF Website online entry opens on 11th May for entries and will stay open until the close of this event - 15th July 2021. Entry Forms and Entry Fees should be submitted to Joe Prior by 20th July. Full details are supplied on the SPF Annual Portfolios page of this website.
16th Jul
This PAGB event for 2021 will go ahead as an online competition with Clubs who pre-qualified for the 2020 event being invited to compete. We will supply full details as soon as they become available to us as to how you can join to view the Judging on Zoom.
25th Jul
We will hold a Results and Awards Presentation Event for the SPF Print Championship as soon as we have the results available to us.

Welcome to the SPF
We are a non-profitmaking network of almost 100 clubs and societies from Orkney in the north to Stranraer in the south and all areas in between. The sizes and involvement of each club within the SPF varies widely.
Founded in 1903, our remit is to promote the art and science of photography through interaction. To this end, the SPF Executive Committee organises a diary of events annually, mainly in the form of competitions and workshops, which our Clubs and their Members can participate in. The SPF also organises or co-ordinates entries to other events nationally or internationally on behalf of our members. We also maintain a mailing list and supply various services, including our e-newsletter the 'e-flash', and SPF Directory which contains all SPF Clubs and our SPF Judge’s & Lecturer’s list.
Through our SPF membership, comes affiliation of the PAGB. This gives access to the Club network throughout the whole of the UK. Through this affiliation comes other benefits including competitive Insurance arrangements for Camera Clubs, exclusive to the PAGB (Photographic Alliance of Great Britain) network, which you can take advantage of as an affiliated SPF club. In addition to this UK membership; as a member Club of the SPF, you and your members also automatically become members of FIAP (Federation Internationale de l'art Photographique) which is a worldwide organisation, currently based in Luxembourg.
