PSA Interclub Competitions

Welcome to the Interclub Competition page! Thank you for your interest in this international photo competition for PSA member clubs. Each competition season consists of 3 rounds: in November, February, and April, with submission deadlines between the 5th and 10th of that month.

Division Definitions

  • NATURE DIVISION: ND emphasizes an honest, natural-appearing image of a nature story, emphasis on the nature story (think animal interactions). With rare exceptions, anything that shows “the hand of man” is not allowed. Looking over the specifics and judging guidelines is recommended: Nature PSA Guide for 2025.
  • PICTORIAL IMAGE DIVISION: an Open division divided into Color and Monochrome classes. The minimal guidelines are visually summarized here. There are no subject or processing restrictions other than no AI-generated elements. This includes “replace sky” options provided by software (i.e not taken by the photographer herself). Monochrome may only be Black and White or single-toned (e.g. sepia) images.

  • Have a signed and dated PSA release form, good for 3 years, on file. The form and instructions are found here.
  • Resize your images to the appropriate dimensions, which must not exceed 1920 pixels horizontal or 1080 pixels vertical. For most images this means resizing it to 1080 pixels vertical, then checking that the horizontal dimension does not exceed 1920 pixels. Check out the article on resizing images under RESOURCES if you are having problems.
  • Submit 1-2 JPG images per category per round using the upload links below. No more than one of them may be selected for entry, however.
  • File naming: Please use WCC’s standard for all competition and exhibition submissions:   LastName_FirstName_Title (for example: Kodak_Joe_Delicate Arch) Titles should be descriptive and not exceed 35 characters.
  • Any image that wins an award for a PSA competition can never be used again in that same division.
  • A color and monochrome version of the same image may be submitted to their respective PID division, but must have the same image title.
  • In the event that you are a member of another club that also participates in PSA Interclub competitions, you are prohibited from using the same image for both clubs.  PSA recommends confining competition entries to a single club.
