Competition rules

 

All images (prints or projected images,) entered must be the author’s own work and conform to the rules and guidelines of the Club (set out in the club handbook). 

Any print or projected image that has already received a Club award cannot be re-entered in a monthly competition in the same category. If a judge has not accepted an image for an award, then that image may be re-entered at a later date. 

Trade processing of prints is permitted, but in all other respects the entries must be the sole work of the entrant. In the case of digital images, the author may seek the help or advice of other members but the final result must be the sole work of the entrant.

Please contact Competition Secretary Peter Robertson if you need any clarification around the rules for monthly competitions. 

 

Projected (Digital) images

Members may enter up to 2 projected images per club competition. Digitally projected images need be in JPEG format in sRGB colour space, and are to be saved on a USB stick, or emailed as an attachment directly to the Competition Secretary before club night.

Images are to be sized as either:

  • 1620 pixels wide for landscape orientated images or,

  • 1080 pixels on the vertical side for portrait orientated images

Author’s grade+category / hyphen / Member no. / Hyphen / image title

Author’s Grade – J (Junior), N (Novice), B (B-grade), A (A-grade)
