---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NEW Rule Change. Maximum
quantity allowed per each competition entry. Downloadable/printable PDF if required Link :- Competition_Entry_Rule_Change.pdf
The committee have decided to implement the
following rule change for the forthcoming season due to two factors, entry of
digital projected images and the already high competition entry as shown from
last year where we were always taking out the third print from each members
entry and still ending up with too many for a comfortable competition evening.
This
is now a maximum overall of 4 per member per
competition entry (last year it was 6) with a maximum of 2 in any one section

NOTE. The prints above will
be judged together as one section like last year
Digital Projected (Colour and Monochrome
combined)2 (2 colour or 2 mono or 1 of
each)
DON’T FORGET YOU MUST NOT EXCEED A MAXIMUM
TOTAL ENTRY OF 4 OVERALL.
Should there still be a high entry overall
for a comfortable competition evening. No2 image in the digital projected
section will be removed from each member as this has no cost implications
(paper/ink etc.) for members. Should the entry still be high No2 entry may then
be removed from the print sections depending on numbers.
Judging and awarding of placings.
We will be requesting judges to give a
critique of each picture and either request it to be held back or not. After
going through all that sections images the held back pictures will be presented
again for viewing, from this selection the judge will select the placings,
commended to first. If the judge decides to award the same placing to more than
one image, as they feel each is equally worthy of that placing it is their prerogative
and the placing points will be awarded to each picture. After all the placings
have been awarded to pictures that have been held back the remaining held back
pictures will be deemed to of been awarded a mark of 16. Any pictures that were
not held back will be deemed to of been below the 16 points threshold.
We have a rule of a maximum mount size of 20ins x 16ins which is changing to 500mm x 400mm. This is to bring us in line with a lot of external exhibition and competitions that stipulate that size as maximum. It is only 1/4ins smaller each way than 20in x 16ins. You can of course enter any smaller mount size you wish but we recommend the 500mm x 400mm size as it minimises the possibility of damage to your and others' pictures.
Keith will have precut 500 x 400 white core conservation mount board for sale from the first meeting onwards. He will also cut windows to the size you require (small charge), this will be a one week turnaround from one meeting to the next.
