Photographic competition

PCTC Photography Competition - 2026

Paul Hailwood will again be running our fiercely contested photo competition!

Four categories, each person can enter a maximum of 3 photos per category and as many categories they wish. All photos should have been taken in 2026.

Categories:

Smiles and Miles – photos taken whilst out on the bike showing the sheer joy and pleasure of cycling. Smiles on fellow cyclists faces or just happy scenes.

Cycle Journey – a photo giving the feeling of a journey by bike. Could be fellow cyclists plodding off into the distance or working up a hill or a view of a beautiful and inspiring cycle route.

Funny Caption – a photo related to cycling or a cycling event with a funny caption added. New for this year AI can be used to make your photo humorous (but not offensive). If you do use AI this needs to be mentioned when the picture is submitted.

My Best Shot – any subject from any place that you feel is your best of the year 2026. Does not need to be cycle related so wide open for anything and everything.

Each person at the evening will vote for their favourite from each category. The best overall (for the cup) is then between the winning four, each person votes again for one of the four.

All entries should be sent by 19 November 2026 to phailwood@btinternet.com, remember to say which category they are for.
