Important: - The same print or projected image may only be entered in one monthly competition. However, reworked/improved prints or projected images may be entered in a subsequent competition, as an altered/different image.
Example, if you feel the judge’s comments would have improved your work, by cropping, removing colour cast etc, we may see what appears to be the same image on more than one occasion. The point of this is to improve one’s photography using the advice and comments from judges or other club members.
You can either print your own images, or use one of the many available labs.Entries for annual competitions must have been taken in the last year.
Important: - Projected images may be from any source (digital camera, scanned from a slide or negative). Manipulation is allowed but all elements must be the photographer’s own work. Entries must be submitted on a memory stick.
