Understudy Judge Program
Do you like looking at photographs? Want to be able to give people feedback on their images to help them grow?
If so, you should consider becoming an understudy judge for the PSQ!
Where do I start you ask?
Have a read through the PSQ Judges manual which you can find here:

And then, contact our committee expressing your interest and then we can sit with you to discuss your application.
January 2023 Break
We will be giving our committee, judges, and members a well deserved break in January. There will be NO formal competition this month, however we are cooking up a special night that we feel many members will be excited about.

The AGM will be on the 24th of January. Committee nomination forms and proxy voting forms will be sent out shortly.
Howick Trans-Tasman Cup
The Trans-Tasman Cup has officially finished and we have selected the top thirty images according to the committee members, we could only enter two entries per member. We think everyone for their fantastic entries and look forward to competing against Howick soon!

Eligible entries:
Members are permitted to submit up to four images using any image entered into the Monthly Club Competitions from January to November of that year. Note: Alice Black and Graham Burstow winners from the aggregate competitions MAY be entered into the end of year competition categories.
Non-Eligible entries:
Images can not be entered into multiple sections (EG: Open and Creative, or converting a colour image to mono and entering in both). ALL other images are not eligible to be entered, including Images entered into previous end of year competitions.
Other:
Prints can be submitted, however they will be judged against digitals within the same category. Prints will be judged based on the physical print, not the digital representation. Images entered into the aggregate competition can be re-edited and submitted into the end of year competition. This will give members the opportunity to put into practice lessons learned throughout the year and action on judging feedback.
Graham Burstow
In Honour of Graham Burstow, the Committee have ushered in a new monthly award for members to achieve called the “Graham Burstow Award – Judges Choice – Mono Image of the Month. This will continue to the end of the year, and commencing in 2023 will then attract an additional 2 points to the winner.
We have also put together a page on our website dedicated to Graham which shows a number of his images that he’d entered into our aggregate competitions.
https://tpsi.org.au/graham-burstow/
We would like to preserve the memories of Graham and His impact in our life and photography. If you have any photo’s of Graham or any video’s you may have taken of his talks, please head over to here to upload them. This will stay open until the end of October for now.
