Competitions
The monthly club competition is optional and is a great way to get constructive feedback and tips for your photography.
The categories for the competition changes each month and you can enter up to two prints and/or two projected images.
Club competitions have three grade levels – Novice, B-Grade and A-Grade and are judged by a guest judge from another club. He or she will generally have been trained to the PSNZ standard and will give constructive comments and award the images accordingly:
-
Honours 5 pts
-
Merit 3 pts
-
Acceptance 1 pt
Members move from Novice to B-Grade once they have gained 35 points over two years including 3 Honours and 5 Merits.
To progress from B-Grade to A-Grade, members will have gained 45 points over one year including 3 Honours and 8 Merits.
Points are also awarded to members who have gained acceptances or higher in regional and national competitions.
