Competitions Explained
Internal Club Competitions
Print League – Three rounds, up to three images in each round. Two highest scores to count.
Projected Digital Image League – Three rounds, up to four images in each round. Three highest scores to count.
See Programme page for dates. A different, independent judge from the photography club circuit is invited to judge each round.
There are two sections in each league, one for Advanced (Division 1) and one for Beginners/Intermediates (Division 2) so if you’re just starting out in photography or have more experience, you will be competing with members at a similar level.
Of course if you don’t have the full quota of images you can still enter and have your work judged. It is interesting what can be learnt from judges’ comments.
