Below is a basic list of Photographic distinctions available from various Photographic organisations.

They are obtained either by entering competitions sponsored by the organisation or applying directly to the organisation, adhering to their specifications of what is necessary to obtain that distinction.

The requirements can change over time, so it is best to look at the relevant organisations website to see the current requirements and rules for any given distinction.

PAGB : Photographic Alliance of Great Britain, the 'umbrella' organisation for the regional federations/associations in GB. There are a number of awards for individual photographers, as follows -

• BPAGB, Badge Award of the PAGB, the first level of award, judged on 7 pictures, with a standard of 'good club photography'

• CPAGB, Credit Award of the PAGB, judged on 10 pictures, with a standard of 'good club photography'

The Committee has unanimously agreed that they should appoint Viv Jones as an Honorary Member of the club, with immediate effect, in recognition of her many years' service on the Committee of the old BECC, and for her dedication and commitment in steering the club through an extremely difficult period in 2019.

Congratulations Viv, it is well deserved.
