The North Cheshire Challenge

Home > Competitions > External Competitions > The North Cheshire Challenge
The North Cheshire Challenge (NCC) is an annual club photography competition organised by North Cheshire Camera Club.

The competition normally consists of a print and a projected digital image (PDI) competition and each club can enter 5 images in each.    


The format of the competition is a knockout with images eliminated in Round 1 scoring 1, Round 2 scoring 2 etc. 


It is an open competition so nature restrictions for example do not apply.  


The winning club is the one with the highest number of points.


PPS entered this for the first time in 2022, which was a PDI only competition.
