April 13th Internal Open Competition now a *Print* and PDI Competition UPDATE
We are trying to find a way to incorporate printed images in our internal club competitions, but the pandemic has so far prevented us from doing that. The good news is that for our last competition of the season we will trial a system that will enable us to submit printed images that will be viewed and scored by the judge along with the submitted PDIs.

[11,3] Competition November 17th – Submissions by November 10th
Hello All
I trust you enjoyed Simon’s talk this past Tuesday, and now feel inspired to create monochrome landscapes for our next internal competition!
The next Competition, a “monochrome” only event, is November 17th with up to 3 pdi entries to be submitted by November 10th.
The competition will be judged by Jonathan Vaines AFIAP CPAGB LRPS
Please note you may submit 3 pdis per person, however if we exceed an overall entry greater than 80 we will cull to a maximum of 2 pdis per person so please be aware per below and take appropriate action.
The plan is do this in Photo Entry and the method used will be per below from the PE faq’s
“…it is not uncommon to end up with more Entries than a judge can comfortably cope with, and the administrator needs to be able to cull some Entries out. This is normally done according to a “priority” order that each User sets for his/her Entries. It has always been possible to do this manually, but there is now a Cull Entries action available to help.
The prerequisite is to ensure that Users have their Entries in descending order of priority – i.e. with the highest priority at the top of their Entry list. If necessary, the User can use the little blue buttons beside each Entry to re-order them…“

Have fun,
