Club Competition Rules.

We are now revising the rules of the Club Championship, there will be 4 round in the competition. 2 Digital rounds and 2 print rounds. 

 

Digital Round 1:

• Black and White Image
• Colour Image.

Print round 1:

• 3 mounted prints any topic/style.
• Entries can re-use ONE image from digital round one in this round in print form but must have at least 2 new unique prints.

Digital round 2:

• 2 images open that have not been entered into the competition previously (including print rounds)

Print round 2:

• Entrants may use a maximum of 2 prints from previous print round and at most 1 image from Digital round 2.
• Entrants must have 1 unique/new image in this round.

 

Prints must be mounted on a backing board measuring 16″x20″ (41cm x 51cm).3. The image size is your choice, but as a guide A4, 8″x10″ would be a reasonable size.

In the digital rounds pictures will be judged out of a maximum of 5 points. 

In print round one images will be judged out of a maximum of 10 by one Judge.

In print round two images will be judged out of a maximum of 10 each by 2 Judges.

You can get images mounted in any ‘framing shop’.Liam Manning located at ‘Picturesque’, Unit 4, Enterprise Center, Bishopgate Street, Mullingar will do this.Liam will charge 9 euro for a print fully mounted on a backing board and a window mount, less for a print on backing board only.

Say it is for the Camera Club.

Note:If you are a new member and you do not have sufficient images to enter a round. You may enter less as it is good to get feedback from the judge.
