British Photographic Exhibitions (BPE)
The British Photographic Exhibitions (BPE) are typically organised by a single photography club or by a number of clubs in the same geographic area that get together to organise a national exhibition.
The BPE was setup to encourage UK club photographers to enter exhibitions and for member clubs to share ideas, promote each others exhibitions and generally work together to promote competitive photography.

All the members of the British Photographic Exhibitions, 15 in all, participate in the BPE Crown Award system, which is designed to enable successful exhibition photographers to gain additional recognition. Exhibitors are invited to aggregate their acceptances in the affiliated exhibitions and, upon reaching the accepted aggregate, to apply without charge for a Crown Rating Award.
Each successful applicant for an award will receive a Certificate and a Ribbon and will be able to use the letters acknowledging their award after their name.
Those who achieve the top crown award rating BPE5* are then invited to aggregate acceptances and awards in the member exhibitions and upon reaching the accepted aggregate to apply, without charge, for Associateship (ABPE) and Fellowship (FBPE).
