About IOTY
The Norwich & District Photographic Society (NDPS) prides itself on being a friendly group of people all with a common interest in capturing and creating photographic images. NDPS’s overall aim is that with the support of the more experienced photographers within the Society all members can become the best photographer they can be.
NDPS holds regular competitions throughout the year to give members an opportunity to put their skills into practice, and these are a great way to improve and get feedback on their own photography.
Members entering IOTY are expected to have read and be familiar with the document NDPS GENERAL COMPETITION RULES & CONDITIONS OF ENTRY which also apply unless stated otherwise in this document.
