Bishopthorpe Camera Club
Competitions provide an opportunity to share our photographs with other club members while also hearing an independent assessment of them. The judges comments are usually informative and useful pointers as to how we might improve.
|
During the season ... |
|
A Knockout competition - a "fun" event, not to be taken too seriously!
|
|
A Print competition, for
mounted prints. (Mount size: 50 x 40 cm). You
can enter a maximum of three colour prints and
three monochrome prints. |
|
Projected image competitions - there are two of
these. You can enter three images for projection in each
competition.
|
|
Portfolio competition -
six prints (mounted)
or six projected images
on a theme of the author's choosing. |
|
At the end of the season ... |
|
Annual competition - for projected images - rules as above.
|
|
Annual competition for prints - rules as above.
In all competitions, except the Knockout which
everyone judges, we invite judges to give additional marks for
"Imagination". |
|
Annual awards are made at Beginner and Advanced Level for
the "Club Competition" (which aggregates marks from the Print, Projected
image and Portfolio competitions which take place during the season),
for the Portfolio Competition and for the two Annual Competitions.
|
Members decide whether they wish to enter the Beginners or Advanced class.
NB only one class for every competition during a season!
New members normally (but not necessarily) start in the beginners class
and move up when they have had some success at the level.
The committee will advise members who they believe to be in the wrong class.
The Competition Rules, Entry Forms (required for the annual competition only), and advice on mounting prints and preparing digital images and slides for projection are to be found in the Resources area. The club has a mount cutter which may be borrowed by arrangement with the competition secretary.
