2008 Photo Competition

 

The competition will run from 1 February to 30 November 2008

Photographs submitted must relate to gliding in it's widest interpretation e.g.

Photographs of gliders in flight - e.g. free flight, under tow, landing at sunset etc.

Photographs of any other aspect of gliding - e.g. ground handling, weather, personalities, 'situations' etc.

RULES OF THE COMPETITION 

  1. Photographs submitted must have been taken by the member, immediate family or partner of the member - in any year.

  2. Members can send in up to four photographs.

  3. Each photograph must have a short title.
