The Top Shot for each category is selected in November from all images awarded a Merit or selected as a Members Choice during that year. The trophy was created in 2009 and is named in memory of Alex Revel, one of the founding members of the club who served with distinction on the executive committee for many years.

In its inaugural year the trophy was awarded only for Prints and Digital Images. In subsequent years the Print category was split into Large Prints and Small Prints, then in 2015 they were combined again to just Print category.
