OPen
The Open category allows members to submit photographs of any subject and style in any of the three categories.
Members can submit up to two images in each category.
Creative
The Creative category allows members to submit one creative image in each of the competition categories.
A creative image is one that uses some form of special technique in either the taking and/or post-processing of the image.
A brief description of how the photographer defines his/her image as creative must be included with each relevant entry when submitted to the Internal Competition Secretaries.
Competition Night Format
The Club invites an independent judge to officiate at the Monthly competitions. The judge receives the prints and PDIs before the night in order to assess them under the same lighting conditions. The judge prepares his notes and decides
on the placed images.
The Print categories in both of the Club and Advanced Classes will be reviewed first, followed by the PDIs
PLacings
The judge will determine which images are worthy of receiving a placement. The following placements are available to be awarded.
Only one image can be awarded at first, second and third. The judge can award as many Highly Commended and Commended as they see fit.
