RPS Digital Imaging
Showcase your work through DI competitions
Digital Imaging offers you various opportunities throughout the year to showcase your work, in addition to featuring members in its publications. They are free and open to all Digital Imaging members.
The 2027 Portfolio
For 2027, the Portfolio will have a new look. As well as the 30 individual prints selected to show the best of our members’ work (as in past years), there will also be a Triptych section. The entry dates and criteria are detailed below, but please note that printed copies of the images must be posted together from 1 January-1 February 2027. This will both miss the Christmas postal congestion, and save you postage if you wish to enter both.
Entry is free for all members, and we make special arrangements for printing submissions from our International members who cannot or don't wish to post their entries to the UK.
Detailed rules and instructions will be provided nearer the time.

Triptych
Each entrant to submit one entry: three A4 unmounted prints plus a layout.
Submissions open from 1-30 November 2026 (digital) and January 2027 (prints).
The top 10 selected will be featured in the Portfolio.
Open Prints
Each entrant to submit three entries as A4 unmounted prints.
Submissions open from 1-31 January 2027- print and digital copies.
The top 30 selected will be featured in the Portfolio.
Why we ask for digital and print submissions
We select the images based on the print - the subject, the paper used and the overall impression. To compile the printed portfolio, we need digital images, so you do need to submit both.
You can see last year's portfolio (30 images only) as a flipbook ↗ here: everyone who entered got a printed copy.
