The
Photographic Alliance of Great Britain (PAGB) is an organisation that
co-ordinates specific activities for photographic clubs in England,
Scotland, Wales & Northern Ireland. It does this through 15
geographical regions known as Federations.
The PAGB
organises national competitive photographic events for its Federations
and for clubs. It also offers other services such as Recorded Lectures
to clubs and its own photographic Distinctions (known as awards for
photographic merit) direct to qualifying club members.
The PAGB has
strong links with similar organisations in different countries
throughout the world through its membership of FIAP (The International
Federation of Photographic Art).
Individual membership to the PAGB is not possible. Access to the facilities
described above is via membership of a club that is affiliated to the
PAGB through its Federation.
The PAGB
is run by an Executive committee whose members are nominated and
elected from members of each Federation at the Annual General Meeting
each April. This executive meets three times per year to discuss and
arrange the events and matters related to the PAGB.
