Monthly PDI Competitions (Excludes: Dave Addiscott, Whitcombe)
Members that would like to enter PDI competitions will need to either email their entries in or give the competition secretary their entries on a USB memory stick with a completed entry slip.
Each member may submit a total of 3 images. Full rules can be found in the club handbook.
The following rules apply:
- All entries MUST be received two weeks before the competition date. This is to allow the competition secretary time to check all the images, setup the competition and send a copy of all the images to the judge to view on their own screen. Please see the programme for entry due dates
- Entries must be within 1400px width and 1050px height
- No late entries will be accepted (e.g. the day after entries were due)
- The competition secretary will not be able to resolve any image issue(s) (e.g. corrections to colour space, image size), replace incorrectly entered images or amended any titles of images
- Any images not entered correctly will be rejected
- All entries must be in a ZIP file and entitled with the members name (e.g. Joe Bloggs, Joe Bloggs LRPS)
- All entries must be numbered 01, 02, 03 followed by the title (e.g. 01 My Best Photo, 02 Windmill in Kent, 03 Bird on a stick)
- All entries must be listed in the email text, so the competition secretary knows which image is 01, 02 & 03
- If too many entries are received to judge, all 3rd images will be automatically withdrawn and members notified
If any member does not wish for their images to be possibly selected for external competitions, please could they let the competition secretary know by email.
