As well as lectures and practical evenings we also have a monthly competition. A judge is booked each month and maybe a club member or from another club.
Monthly Competitions Competition rules and each months subject are shown in the Club Programme which you should receive when you pay your annual subscription. Only paid up members are able to take part.
A maximum of THREE digital images may be entered by any member each month. Handing in night is the week before the competition, Digital Images should be entered using 'PhotoEntry'
PhotoEntry
All the monthly competitions are on PhotoEntry.
You will be able to see all these competitions under the 'Monthly Competitions' group.
Under 'Status' you can see if the Competition is Open, Closed or Future. If it is open you can enter images.
All open Competitions will automatically close at 4am on the Thursday morning following the closing date.
All set subject competitions are open so you can enter images from now right up until they are closed. Don’t forget these entries can easily be amended if you change your mind.
We will only have one open competition open at a time to stop any confusion.
You can also see who is judging if they have been booked.
If you need any advice on entering an image in a monthly competition please just ask committee member who will be only too happy to help.
There are 12 monthly competition evenings held throughout the year, normally during the final week of each month, unless specified differently in the current Programme.
Two competitions take place on each competition evening, one for Prints and one for Projected Digital Images. Each member can enter up to three Prints and three PDIs per competition.
The Prints and PDIs entered in any Monthly competition should not have been entered in any previous Club Monthly Competition or previous Annual Competitions.
Six of the competitions are on specific subjects selected by the Competition Consultant and six are on ‘Open’ subjects (of any subject the author wishes).
Entries will be judged either by an appointed Judge from outside our club’s membership or by an individual member of the Club (who has not entered the specific competition).
Whenever possible, entries will be previewed by the Judge prior to the competition.
The Judge will discuss and appraise the entries and award a maximum of 20 points to each individual entry. The Judge will then announce the top 3 entries to gain 1st, 2nd and 3rd places.
