League
Competition Principles
Classes
To make things fair to all, there are two
classes,
-
Standard - which is aimed
at the fairly new to experienced photographer
-
Advanced- which is aimed
at the almost professional or very experienced photographer,
with access to expensive cameras & computer equipment
Submissions
Images can be submitted as prints mounted
on card, slides and enprints (typically unframed 6"x4" prints
straight from the developers envelope)
The images will be placed on an illuminated
stand at the front for all to view and allow the judge to impart his
thoughts & ideas,
(this isnt as painfull as it sounds, and as far as we know Jeremy Clarkson
isn't a photographer !)
To make the evening entertaining for all we
would ask each person attending to try & enter
3 slides and/or 3 prints and/or 3 enprint. Your name & the title of
the image should be on the reverse side of the print/slide which makes it
easy to allocate scores
Prints
(apart from enprints) should be mounted on card/mounting board. Maximum
size 20"x16" Slides
should be "spotted" ( and I haven't a clue what that means !)

To incentivise each competition the club
