There are several competitions throughout the year at Bishop's Stortford Camera Club. They are judged by a visiting expert who scores members' photos and provides them with useful advice on how to improve.

The club also has a beginners’ section to encourage photographers of any level to enter and learn.

But the club is not just about competitions. It also invites guest speakers and hosts workshop nights where members can practise new camera skills.
