So, the club my daughter and I go to is affiliated to the YPU (Yorkshire Photographic Union) which represents the entire Yorkshire and Humber region in the UK.
Every year the YPU have an annual exhibition and assembly, where images are selected from a couple of thousand entries to be displayed at the exhibition. Around 200 prints, and 200 Projected images, from about 3 - 4000 entries all told.
The good news, one of my images was selected and also won a certificate of merit. 
The stupendous and fabulous news?
My daughter, TinyTogger (Ruby, aged 7) got an image through, and not only won a certificate, but also best Projected image (Young photographers section (up to age 14, I think).
Here is Ruby with the great Andy Rouse, Wildlife photographer, and also the image that she won the award for.
