Entry is open to all FMC individual supporters, and members of FMC clubs. The competition closes on the 31 July 2019.
FMC was delighted with the participation in 2018’s photo competition, the biggest number of entries that we’ve received since the competition began in 2010!
However there are many clubs and individual supporters who did not enter, and we’re hoping to inspire them to do so for 2019, with giveaways, articles and resources from experts, plus anecdotes from clubs and individuals whose trips, meetings and memories were enriched by their photography. Keep a look out for articles in the June and August issues of Backcountry.
Hot Pixels offers a number of online photography courses and resources. The tutor, Ray Salisbury is a member of the Nelson Tramping Club, and is delighted to help FMC members and clubs get more into their photography.
