For our PIXELS competition, members can submit an image to the theme which is then judged externally where a gold, silver or bronze can be awarded. At the end of the year, the overall winner is announced.
The themes for the 2021 competition are based on song titles and are:
| Month | Song | Artist | Theme Definition |
|---|---|---|---|
| January | All The Small Things | Blink 182 | Time to show us your best macro shot. |
| March | Too Many Fish In The Sea | The Marvelettes | Image can be any fish: "...short ones, tall ones, fine ones, kind ones" |
| May | You're My Best Friend | Queen | Or more importantly your dive buddy! Your dive buddy doesn’t have to be the main subject but must be somewhere in the image. |
| July | Under The Boardwalk | The Drifters | Image must have been taken underneath a structure that people can walk on. Image must show enough of the structure to clearly indicate |
| September | Octopus's Garden | The Beatles | Obviously, an octopus image; but so as not to upset any of their tentacled/multi-armed cousins, image can be of any cephalopod (squid, cuttlefish, nautilus). |
| November | All Things Bright and Beautiful | Church Hymn | Just the traditional end of year Open theme, image can be of any subject: “All things bright and beautiful, All creatures great and small,….” |
