VISIONS  is a projected digital image trophy competition, held annually.  It is specifically aimed at individual competitors from any PAGB affiliated club.  There is also the option for three competing individuals to be registered as a club team for a separate trophy.

The individual trophy is presented by XRR PS and the retained by the individual winner. The Club trophy, donated by Chiswick Camera Centre (see Links), is held by the winning club for one year.

The first two images of an individual’s entry are pre-judged and audio visual sequences at the start of the event, show both the images and scores achieved in those rounds.  The third image (also to be used as tie-breaker in the event of ties for the trophy positions) is judged live and the trophy winners determined on aggregate scores.
