I have not yet had any official notification as to the subject matter or rules for next years Regional Media Communications Design & Photographic Competitions. I have however been told that the subject for the Design element of the competition will be an Air Cadet Calendar. As I say I have no official rules etc. but at least you can start to get your teams thinking about ideas for Calendars.

When it comes to the photographic competition I am aware that some units have been finding it difficult to produce portfolios, which comply with the competition criteria as defined by region. In light of this I have therefore suggested that region introduce an additional open category of a single photograph any subject Air Cadet related. If region adopt the idea I hope that all 27 of our units will be able to enter this part of the competition.

I will circulate the official Regional Media & Photographic competition rules for 2011 as soon as I get them.
