To encourage photographers to record Surrey DA Events, the Photo Album Trophy was introduced. If you would like to contribute to Surrey DA’s modern history, you can, by sending copies of your pictures to the DA’s Albums. A team will search through all your photographs for the year’s Best Photograph.
