The Society
Newark & District Photographic Society has existed to promote and provide support for Amateur Photography in and around Newark-on-Trent, Nottinghamshire, England since 1938.
A keen group of photographers, we meet weekly between September and April to hear guest speakers talk on their photographic techniques & experiences, and to receive constructive criticism of our own work.
This website was created to allow parties interested in photography both locally and further afield to see what we do. You will find contact details, news, reminders of upcoming events and competition deadlines, our current programme, society and competition rules, guidelines for nature competitions, preparation guides for print and projected digital image competitions, and several galleries of members' work.
All correspondence should be emailed to the relevant contact or posted to the Hon. General Secretary:
Newark & District Photographic Society, c/o 104b North Gate, Newark, Nottinghamshire, NG24 1HF.

Photographer of the Year Prints
14/08/2021
Some judges, for the time being, may not be able to physically attend the judging of the Photographer of the Year print classes—whether they know well in advance or not—and shall need the prints delivered to them in advance of the competition date.
We are therefore asking that members complete their online entries by the end of the Sunday (eight days before the competition date) and not by the end of the Monday as usual. Prints themselves shall have to be delivered either to a meeting, or (by arrangement) to the President, no later than the Monday before the competition date.
It would be much appreciated if members could supply a print out of the online submission when delivering their prints.
Online entries for the print evenings of the POY heats has been configured on this basis but shall be updated when the Committee are confident enough to do so.
