The KCPA is home for many great photographers, so let’s pull together to make sure we have a bumper number of images entered this year.
Everything you need to know to enter the KCPA 2018 Exhibition
• There is no need to register in order to enter this year’s exhibition.
• You are responsible for your own individual entry and payment.
Although we will be sending additional forms to club coordinators, in the hope that they will assist and encourage their members to enter this year’s exhibition.
We will therefore accept deliveries from club coordinators who will collect all of their club member’s images together and deliver them all together to one of the drop off points, or from individuals wishing to deliver their own entries. Exhibition Drop-Off-Points
• There will be forms to fill in, and labels to download, but the process is easy to do. ENTRY FORM

A total of 30 images can be entered in each of the Print and PDI’s sections, this year we have done away with the maximum of 6 images allowed into one category.
