The Grand Valley Image Battle competition is held once a year as an inter-club competition with other clubs in South-Western Ontario. Participating clubs include the Highland Glen, Grand River, Orangeville, Stratford, Halton Hills, Brantford, Fergus, and Woodstock camera clubs. Each club enters 20 images and each photographer is restricted to at most three images. A club's entry can be a mix of digital images or prints, in any proportion. Print submissions must adhere to the same submission guidelines as that for the Highland Glen in-club competition.

This year, the Highland Glen entry will be chosen by the membership at a special meeting in October, just prior to the "Battle". Typically, images are chosen from those that received the highest scores in in-club or theme competitions earlier in the year, or from the year before.
