Klemantaski-Parnell Photographic Competition 2026 - now open!

This year's photography competition is now underway and Member entries are invited to participate!

This prestigious competition was first run in 1990, when the entries were judged by Louis Klemantaski himself. Klemantaski was a pioneer in race car photography, known for his daredevil approach to getting a good shot: he took pictures of oncoming race cars while standing on the track, and of moving vehicles while hanging out of a moving vehicle himself. In 1953 Louis and his good friend Reg Parnell came overall fifth in the Mille Miglia, driving a DB3. The prize they won, an impressive silver cup (the Klemantaski-Parnell Trophy), is awarded to the winner each year at the Club's annual Prizegiving. 

Find out more about the competition, including the 2025 winning entry.
