After Judging, the highest scoring entries (Approx. 25% to 33% of total entry) form the Annual Portfolio of accepted Prints and Projected Images for the year.
Portfolio shows of the accepted entries are made up on disc for clubs to show on a clubnight, and a copy is placed in the SPF's archive. All clubs who book a copy, are sent a disc to keep, in the November following the judging - Participating clubs get this for free. There is a nominal charge for non-participating clubs. See below for details of how to book your Club's copy.
Additional individual awards are again being presented - Best Nature, Best Creative, Best Portrait and Best Landscape will join the Judge's Choices and Best Overall.

SPF Annual Portfolios Results 2024
The 2024 SPF Annual Portfolios went ahead in their usual format of three sections - a Colour Print section, Mono Print section and a Projected Digital Section. The two Print sections were judges as prints, and not as digital copies.
This year's Judges were Stephen Fowler from Ryton (NCPF), John Tillotson CPAGB EPSA EFIAP BPE2 (NCPF) from Penrith, and Keith Snell LRPS EFIAP MPSA BPE1 from Keswick (NCPF) who all travelled to Holywood in Dumfriesshire for the Judging on the 10th August. Thank you to our Judges for taking on this task, which due to the larger than normal entry, ended up being a very long day.
A total of 1701 Prints and Projected Images were received from 33 Clubs; made up of 771 PDI, 552 Colour Prints and 378 Mono Prints. This was almost 270 more entries than in 2019. The increase was mostly in the print entries which is encouraging given they were down last year. All sections were scored out of a maximum of 15, and minimum of 6. The Judges then selected their Individual Awards from the higher scoring photos in each section.
After Judging, the highest scoring entries (Approx. 30% of the total entry) forms the Annual Portfolio Shows of accepted Prints and Projected Images for the year which are available to view during the 2024-25 season as MP4 shows supplied via WeTransfer, from November. See details below about how your Club can book a copy, or check if you've already done so below.
The Acceptance Mark for being Accepted into the 2024 Portfolio shows was 13 in all sections. All Individual scores for the photographs entered this year are in the process of being emailed directly to the Club Competition Secretary who completed their Club's entry. Club Competition Secretaries can also log in to the Online system and see their Club's scores or email another copy after the upload process has been completed.
The scores of the photos selected by the Clubs to form their Club entries, for each of the sections, were then calculated to give the overall Club placings for this year. The following were the 2024 winning Clubs in each of the sections -
Best Colour Club - The Henry Coates Trophy - Queen's Park Camera Club
Best Monochrome Club - The Salon Trophy - Brechin Photographic Society and Paisley Photographic Society

The competition is open to all members of SPF Clubs, but all the entries from one Club must be collected, collated and submitted by one person from the Club, usually the competition secretary. There is however no minimum number of authors required from a club so if only two of you are interested in entering then that is fine – just arrange for one of you to act as the contact, and upload and organise delivery of both entries.
2023 SPF Annual Portfolios Results
The 2023 SPF Annual Portfolios went ahead in their pre-covid format of three sections - a Colour Print section, Mono Print section and a Projected Digital Section. The two Print sections were judges as prints, and not as digital copies.
This year's Judges were Jack Bamford (NCPF), Robert Millin (LCPU) and John Williams (NCPF), who travelled to Scotland for the Judging on the 19th August. Thank you to our Judges for taking on this task.
A total of 1047 Prints and Projected Images were received from 27 Clubs; made up of 533 PDI, 297 Colour Prints and 217 Mono Prints. The print entries were down this year, but there was still a very respectable number for our Judges to score. All sections were scored out of a maximum of 15, and minimum of 6. The Judges then selected their Individual Awards from the higher scoring photos in each section.
After Judging, the highest scoring entries (Approx. 30% of total entry) forms the Annual Portfolio Shows of accepted Prints and Projected Images for the year which are available to view during the 2023-24 season as P2exe or MP4 shows supplied on DVD or via WeTransfer, from November.

2022 SPF Annual Portfolios Results
We went ahead again this year with the SPF Annual Portfolios competitions as three digital sections i.e. the usual two Print sections were again Judged from the digital copies uploaded to the SPF website. We are conscious that a number of our SPF Clubs rely on the DVD shows for their syllabuses, and this three digital section approach enabled us to be able to make the varied Portfolio shows that Clubs rely on showing in the coming season.
A total of 1447 Prints and Projected Images were received from 30 Clubs; made up of 556 PDI, 475 Colour Print PDIs and 416 Mono Prints PDIs. Numbers were down slightly on last year but were the same as pre-covid levels, so a big thank you to all of the Clubs who entered.
This year's Judges were Richard Speirs (NCPF), Christine Widdall (LCPU) and Roger Parry (MCPF).
We again sent the PDIs to the Judges for scoring and the Awards selection was done by the Judges collectively remotely via Zoom from the shortlist of 74 highest scoring images. The results were announced at a Results and Awards Presentation Event on Sunday 25th Sept held on Zoom.

2021 Results
Given the difficulties Clubs faced during the 2020-21 to run Print Competitions and the fact that we required to delay the closing of our SPF Print Championship, we required to review our SPF Annual Portfolios competitions in light of this.
We therefore went ahead with the SPF Annual Portfolios competitions as three digital sections i.e. the usual two Print sections were again Judged from the digital copies uploaded to the SPF website. We are conscious that a number of our SPF Clubs rely on the DVD shows for their syllabuses, and this three digital section approach enabled us to be able to make the varied Portfolio shows that Clubs rely on showing in the coming season.
Given the delay to the SPF Print Championship this year, with it only closing 30th April, this necessitated a delay to the opening of the SPF Annual Portfolios Competition to avoid unnecessary confusion, and spread the workload for Clubs and SPF alike. The SPF Website online entry opened for entries on 11th May and closed for entries on 15th July 2021.
A total of 1806 Prints and Projected Images were received from 33 Clubs; made up of 759 PDI, 575 Colour Print PDIs and 472 Mono Prints PDIs. Numbers were down slightly on last year’s incredible 600 image increase on the previous year but only by less than 200 across the sections, so a massive thank you to all of the Clubs who entered.
The Judges were Mike Sharples (MCPF), Barry Mead (WCPF) and Dave Butler (L&CPU)
We again sent the PDIs to the Judges for scoring and the Awards selection was done by the Judges collectively remotely via Zoom from the shortlist of 95 highest scoring images. The results were announced at a Results and Awards Presentation Event on Sunday 26th Sept held on Zoom.

2020 Results
On 5th March all Clubs received an email outlining all the details they required to compete in this year's competitions. But shortly after opening the event there was an upsurge in Coronavirus and a number of Clubs closed their season early. We therefore reviewed our SPF Annual Portfolios competitions in light of this.
It would have been easy perhaps to cancel the SPF Annual Portfolios, but a number of Clubs had already either completed their entry online, or had organised a significant part of their entry ready for online completion, from your emails. We therefore went ahead with the SPF Annual Portfolios competitions in a safer format for everyone. Instead of Clubs sending us their actual prints we arranged for the Projected Digital Images of the Prints (as uploaded to the SPF website) to be Judged instead of the actual Prints.
A total of 2033 Prints and Projected Images were received from 33 Clubs; made up of 898 PDI, 661 Colour Print PDIs and 474 Mono Prints PDIs. Numbers were up by an incredible 600 on last year, so a massive thank you to all of the Clubs who entered.
The SPF Portfolio Competitions 2020 have now been Judged, by two Judges this year, Jane and Adrian Lines from Chorley, in the L&CPU. They were independently sent the images, which they each scored between 5 and 10. Their individual scores were then combined to give a maximum possible score of 20 and minimum score of 10.
The Judges were then asked to select their Individual Award winners from their highest combined scoring images.
The Judge's combined scores were also used to calculate the final Club placings who's results came as normal from the total combined scores of the Club's selections in each category.
After Judging, the highest scoring entries (Approx. 30% of total entry) forms the Annual Portfolios of accepted Print Projected Image Sections and Projected Digital Images for the year which will be available to view on DVD. Details are available below on how your Club can book a copy, or check if you've already done so.
All Individual scores for the photographs entered this year have now been emailed directly to the Club Competition Secretary who completed their Club's entry. We would ask that those Clubs who entered, who have not yet paid, refer to the results email and send cheque payment now as directed to Libby, thank you. Club Competition Secretaries can also log in to the Online system and see their Club's scores or payment amount etc.
The following were the 2020 winning Clubs in each of the sections -
