Earn points with every achievement
Your three highest-point-scoring eligible entries each competition year contribute to your running total.
Base points are awarded once per entry, at its highest eligible result. Winning bonuses are added to that entry, so a print scoring 90+ that wins its category and overall can earn 5 points. Points accumulate over eligible years. Official awards and eligibility are subject to UKPPA verification.
