NORTHERN PHOTOGRAPHIC FEDERATION (NPF) – 2022 PHOTOGRAPHIC COMPETITION AND CONVENTION

Following on from my last post on 13th July this is a reminder that entries to the print and digital competitions must be uploaded through the MyPhotoClub website: https://npf.myphotoclub.com.au/ by 7th August. It is an easy process to look back at images you have already entered and upload one of your existing digital or print entries from the website. 

If you are entering the print competitions you can bring along your print entries to the next club night at Valentine Bowling Club on Wednesday 10th August or alternatively drop them off at my home at 37 Seaview Close Eleebana no later than Thursday 11th August. If I am not at home simply leave on the front verandah. 

Finally if you plan to attend the convention at the Kurri Kurri Bowling club over the weekend of the 27th and 28th August  please let me know as I have to advise numbers for catering purposes.
