RPS Digital Imaging | Print Portfolio

We are announcing the DI Print Portfolio for 2026. This is not a competition as such, but an opportunity to enjoy a varied selection of the best images from RPS DI Members.

The rules for this year's competition can be downloaded here (PDF file).

For any general enquiries in respect to this Print Portfolio competition please contact digchair@rps.org, and for difficulties uploading your images, digcompsec@rps.org.

Our selectors for 2026 are Linda Marshall FRPS, Ralph Snook ARPS and Peter Brisley ARPS, who will both judge the image, and take into account the technical quality of the print and the paper used.

Key dates:

Entries open on January 1^st 2026 at 09.00.
UK entry closes on 6^th February 2026.
International members’ entry closes 3^rd February 2026 to give us time to get their images printed for the selectors.
The final 30 images will be presented at the DI AGM on 22^nd February 2026.

The selectors will choose 30 prints to represent the range of work of the DI Group. These will be presented in a print portfolio; a copy of which is given to all those whose images are selected; all other entrants will receive a magazine version of the same content. The top 30 images will also be presented at the online DI AGM on February 23^rd 2026, when the selectors will discuss their choices. This will not only be the chance for 15 minutes of fame for the winners, but also an opportunity to learn from the selectors about how and why they made their choices.

Why are we asking for digital and printed copies?

The judging by the selectors is done on the prints (on A4 paper at the aspect ratio and resolution you choose). We also ask for a separate digital copy 3000px on the shortest side and 300 ppi, which will be used to create the printed portfolio should your image be selected.
