CLUB COMPETITIONS
We currently hold League and Annual internal club photography competitions, from which photographs may be selected for external Battles with other clubs.
Our League currently comprises of three rounds during each season, we encourage all members to take part in our internal competitions and whether victorious or not, the recognised visiting judge will give their critique to all entries. Judge comments and advice will be helpful for the author to take on board for future photography.
The competitions can be either Print, PDI (Projected Digital Images) or both and up to three entries, per round, in each category.
The two highest scoring images will count to the Photographers score in the league results.
For more information, please refer to the relevant Competition Rules.
All entries need to be supplied with a title, which will be read out unless otherwise specified in the competition rules.
There are two categories: PRINT and PDI, both can be entered, with up to three images (per round) in each category, the highest scoring two images counting towards the photographer’s score in that category for that round.
Images must not have been entered in either previous PRINT or PDI competitions but can be submitted for the Annual Exhibition Competition.
Competition images entered (PRINT or PDI) can have been taken at any time.
Deadlines for entry into each round for either category are included in the programme guide or see the competition Rules.
Competition Print Labels – Please download and attach a label to each of your prints entered for the club competitions. The labels template is designed to print Avery J8163 – 99.1 x 38.1mm x 14 sticky labels, or on a plain sheet.
