Images for printing to be sent to Tony Marsh  by 7th November.
Prints to be mounted and backed with mounts to be sized to 50cm x 40cm.
Jeremy Malley-Smith has backing boards for sale at £1 each.
Simon Roberts is organising the exhibition and it will run until early January 2027.

This is a UK wide print competition run by the Photographic Alliance of Great Britain (PAGB) open to all camera club members, who enter as individuals not as a Club.  60 of the best prints are included in a touring exhibition.  It's a huge honour to be chosen for the MOP Exhibition.

Details, rules and timetable can be found on the PAGB website.
Members may enter up to 5 unmounted prints on A3 paper, in any or all of 3 categories: mono, open colour and nature.
A PDI must accompany each print, measuring 2400 pixels on the longest edge.
Entries must be made via the PAGB CMS system where PDIs are also uploaded.  You will then be given labels to print to go on the back of your prints and given an address to post them to.
There is a fee for entry into the MOP.

Jeremy has kindly offered to take prints and hand them in to the organisers, rather than members having to pay to have them delivered to Dumfries.  If you'd like this, please hand in your entries to Jeremy no later than 11th November.

The closing date for postal entries is 24th November.

Runs until early January 2027.
