Out of the hundreds of photos submitted to the monthly Poole Harbour Canoe Club Photo Competition on Facebook, the best 50 or so are selected.
Members then have a chance to select the ‘best of the best’!

The competition has always aimed to encourage more people to take a camera whilst out paddling and capture those unique moments that we can only experience on the water; whether it be wildlife we encounter, awesome coastal views or just amazing weather.
It has helped people put more thought into their photos and get much better images.
The voting takes account of the ‘likes’ it received in the monthly competition, the votes cast (choice order) after release of the video and the frequency of an image being selected in the final voting in which voters could vote for just three images; this is shown in the ‘point accumulated’.

The voting system has evolved to remove as much of the subjectivity at the judging stage as possible.
