Newsletter Writer of the Year

The Newsletter Writer of the Year Award is judged on all articles published in the previous 6 issues of the Yorkshire Mountaineer. The competition was started in 1993 by the newsletter editor at the time, Pete Ashworth with the aim of promoting an increased number of higher quality articles in the club's bimonthly newsletter.

Photography Competition

A photography competition is held annually each Autumn in which members are invited to compete for several trophies. The competition was started in 1964 by former member L.W.Smith, who presented the trophy which remains the principle award competed for. In 2006 the format of the entries was changed from photographic slides to that of digital pictures.
