All competitions, except Image of the Week, will use PhotoEntry as a means to submit entries.
Seasonal Points Competitions
There are 5 competitions in the Seasonal Points series. Members may enter up to 3 Prints AND up to 2 PDIs in each of the 5 competitions (making a possible 5 entries per competition.)
Upload your PDI entries to the Photo Entry system as usual by the published closing date (typically one week before the competition).
For each print, a PDI must also be uploaded by the closing date. The prints can be dropped off at the Scott Lower School hall on a club evening before the closing date.
See here for more information on submitting images
A cumulative points system operates with a cup being awarded for each class (PDI and Prints) at the end of the season.
POINTS OF VIEW
A location is selected by the previous winner of the competition. Members are invited to submit 1 images for each of 6 different themes that have been selected by the organiser. The winner is the entrant with the highest combined score for their six images. This is a PDI competition.
