Digital Imaging Competition

For 2026 our annual competition for members features two separate rounds, namely Open Colour and Open Mono. For both classes, three selectors have selected 15 images from a shortlist (see below), and these 30 will go forward to the final, competing for the Raymond Wallace Thompson Trophy. At the final, our three selectors are Judy Hancock Holland, John Miskelly FRPS and Janey Devine FRPS.

The Awards presentation will be held on 15th September 2025 at 19:30 BST on Zoom (a link will be supplied to DI members who register). You can book a ticket here ↗.

The selectors will comment on each of the 30 images in turn – then announce their individual awards for the 1st, 2nd and 3rd placed images, with the First winning the coveted RWT trophy. Each selector will also be invited to award a Highly Commended certificate to a single image of their choice.

If the winners are online, they can take part in a virtual presentation, and the winning six images will go on the website and in DI Online.
