The 2024 subjects and guidelines have been completed, the competitions have been created on MyPhotoClub and are ready for you to upload entries.
To find the competitions, please go to our MyPhotoClub website, https://toowoomba.myphotoclub.com.au/ and go into the “Members” Section.

Changes to Entry Order
Please note a change in order of section entries, the digitals will now show before the prints. This will hopefully prevent incorrect entries of digitals into the prints sections.

Some of these will significantly lighten the load for your committee members which will then allow them to concentrate more on member training, up-skilling and other opportunities to benefit the overall running of the society.

Notice about 2024 Committee – Treasurer position
In 2024 we will be seeking a Treasurer to follow on in Val’s footsteps. Val has been on the committee as treasurer for a number of years now and has advised her intentions to step down so as to concentrate on Her photography and personal life.
It would be ideal if someone could volunteer by November so that we can start the handover process and bring them up to speed with the position.
If you have the skillset required to be a treasurer, please get in contact with Travis (president@tpsi.org.au) or Pete (secretary@tpsi.org.au) ASAP.
I wish to publicly acknowledge the hard work that Val has put in over the years which has helped us strengthen the TPS’ overall financial position.
She is a valued committee member, general member and friend to many within TPS.

Changes to MPC & TPSI(Purple) Websites: – Final Notice.
Members – please familiarise yourself with some updates to the websites we use:
MyPhotoClub – Competition Website
Link: https://toowoomba.myphotoclub.com.au/
Info: This website is predominantly used for our competitions. You can get to the website using the above link, you do not need to go to the purple website first.
Changes:
There is a new button in the menu for the comp entry info, clicking on this will take you to relevant information about the competitions we manage.
This will then land people onto here: https://toowoomba.myphotoclub.com.au/tps-comp-rules/
This rules, conditions and information page is being regularly updated whilst we compile all of the information from previous years. Please check here regularly for updates.
There were several buttons on the front page which have been relocated to up top of the logo so that they stand out more;
Also on the front page to the left of the slide show now shows up to date information about our usual meeting schedules.
When you go into a competition now, there is an orange button that used to link to the set subject definitions. This has been updated with more relevant information. When you click on this link another page with load (see below).
TPSI – Purple Website – How the public find us
Link: https://tpsi.org.au
Info: This website was created as customisation of the MyPhotoClub platform is very limited. It is linked to a number of google search tags and is one of the primary sources as to how new members find us. It’s also much easier to tell someone this link than the MyPhotoClub one. On this website you will find information about the club, membership fees and forms, as well as our storefront and other member information. It also hosts our email system EG: president@tpsi.org.au
Changes:
On the left hand menu under “Members Area” new links have been added to point people to our TPS Video Recordings and Training Documents – these will redirect you to the MyPhotoClub website which you will need to login using the same details as if you were entering our monthly competitions. *Note* The general public can not view the information in these pages. The link to the Set Subjects has been updated to include outings as well.
We continue to be dedicated to streamlining processes within the club, if you identify any issues or better ways of doing things please reach out to the committee via committee@tpsi.org.au.

Commentary During Meeting & Judging Nights *reminder*:
We encourage feedback from our members regarding all aspects of the Society. Judging can be quite an emotional roller coaster, providing feedback to a judge is often of a negative nature. The committee often become inundated with feedback from members after a judging occurs which we have found causes our meetings to go late into the night.
As such, we have set up a separate sub committee that will meet on a different night to compile the report for the PSQ Judges, this will reduce the load on our committee meetings. From here-on we ask that all feedback regarding judging be done through this online form – Don’t forget that you can send positive feedback too…. Our judges work so hard and often a nice word will really help encourage them to continue doing this often thankless task.
Judging feedback can not be submitted anonymously, any feedback provided using false information will be discarded.
Please refrain from making comments over Zoom or in Person.
The form can be found here:
https://tpsi.org.au/feedback/
Some other comments have been regarding members images being displayed, sexist, religious or inappropriate nature during Zoom meetings or at the hall.
We believe that our club is a place for creative expression and learning, and we want to ensure that everyone feels welcome and respected. We would like to remind all members that any form of discrimination, harassment, or inappropriate behaviour will not be tolerated.
We urge all members to be mindful of their language and behaviour when participating in club activities. Please remember that our members are from different backgrounds, are at a different skill level and in general have come to socialise with and learn from each other.
We appreciate your cooperation in creating a respectful environment for all members of our photography club.

End of Year Competition and Celebration
Evening All,
There have been some questions around the end of Year Competition, so thought it best to email out to everyone.
What is the end of year competition?
The Toowoomba Photographic Society’s end of year competition has been an integral celebration of photography for well over 40 years. It has changed and morphed over the years and is now held annually in December taking the place of the December aggregate competition.
Essentially – it is a night to celebrate all of the fantastic imagery entered throughout the course of that year.
When / Where is it?
Second Tuesday Night in December – 12/12/2023 starting at 7PM in the DeMolay Hall – Toowoomba.
What happens?
A judge is assigned to go through all of the images that you have entered, they then choose a First, Second and Third place for each Category / Grade.
There are no “set subjects” – each image is judged based on its own against no set definition.
How many images can I enter?
Members can submit up to 4 images in total.
What Images can I submit?
You can ONLY submit images that have been previously entered in this years aggregate competition, meaning from comps between February to November 2023.
Can I re-edit photos before entering the end of year?
Yes, members can re-edit photos previously entered, in face we encourage it. Go back and look through the judges comments on your images and if you agree with the comments make those adjustments and enter the image. The image however should still be recognisable against the original entry. Conversions from colour to mono is ok same as mono to colour.
What else happens at the end of year?
After judging is complete, we plan to have a end of year party for members to enjoy. The “Menu” is to be confirmed closer to the date. We will confirm dietary requirements at the time also.
For more information – see the following document: https://toowoomba.myphotoclub.com.au/wp-content/uploads/sites/111/2023/10/End-Of-Year-Comp-Rules-and-Guidelines.pdf

Passcode: q8X1Yw
Changes to MPC & TPSI(Purple) Websites:
Members – please familiarise yourself with some updates to the websites we use:
MyPhotoClub – Competition Website
Link: https://toowoomba.myphotoclub.com.au/
Info: This website is predominantly used for our competitions. You can get to the website using the above link, you do not need to go to the purple website first.
Changes:
There is a new button in the menu for the comp entry info, clicking on this will take you to relevant information about the competitions we manage.
This will then land people onto here: https://toowoomba.myphotoclub.com.au/tps-comp-rules/
This rules, conditions and information page is being regularly updated whilst we compile all of the information from previous years. Please check here regularly for updates.
There were several buttons on the front page which have been relocated to up top of the logo so that they stand out more;
Also on the front page to the left of the slide show now shows up to date information about our usual meeting schedules.
When you go into a competition now, there is an orange button that used to link to the set subject definitions. This has been updated with more relevant information. When you click on this link another page with load (see below).
TPSI – Purple Website – How the public find us
Link: https://tpsi.org.au
Info: This website was created as customisation of the MyPhotoClub platform is very limited. It is linked to a number of google search tags and is one of the primary sources as to how new members find us. It’s also much easier to tell someone this link than the MyPhotoClub one. On this website you will find information about the club, membership fees and forms, as well as our storefront and other member information. It also hosts our email system EG: president@tpsi.org.au
Changes:
On the left hand menu under “Members Area” new links have been added to point people to our TPS Video Recordings and Training Documents – these will redirect you to the MyPhotoClub website which you will need to login using the same details as if you were entering our monthly competitions. *Note* The general public can not view the information in these pages. The link to the Set Subjects has been updated to include outings as well.
We continue to be dedicated to streamlining processes within the club, if you identify any issues or better ways of doing things please reach out to the committee via committee@tpsi.org.au.
Volunteers
We are always looking for members to volunteer to assist with the general running of the society. Some of these will significantly lighten the load for your committee members which will then allow them to concentrate more on member training, up-skilling and other opportunities to benefit the overall running of the society.
Some areas which we are particularly looking for are:
- Member Run Skills Nights
- Field Day / Outings Co-ordinator
- Community Engagement Co-ordinator
- Social Media Co-ordinator
- Hall night setup
- Visual Media Setup (Laptop, projector etc)
If you would like to nominate yourself, please fill in this form to express your interest:
https://tpsi.org.au/volunteers/
Regular Notices to Members – Important please read:

Dates: Starting from 01 September to 31st of October.
Judging Night: Saturday 18th of November.

Print Night 2024: We are planning to hold a “print only” night in January 2024 where we will encourage all members to enter their images as prints. John Stewart has agreed to judge the imagery for us. For this night there will be no requirement to mount the prints.
Club Member Name Badges: A new member name badge has been developed, we encourage all members to purchase for face to face meetings and outings:
https://tpsi.org.au/store/tpsi-name-badge/
Commentary During Meeting & Judging Nights *reminder*:
We encourage feedback from our members regarding all aspects of the Society. Judging can be quite an emotional roller coaster, providing feedback to a judge is often of a negative nature. The committee often become inundated with feedback from members after a judging occurs which we have found causes our meetings to go late into the night.
As such, we have set up a separate sub committee that will meet on a different night to compile the report for the PSQ Judges, this will reduce the load on our committee meetings. From here-on we ask that all feedback regarding judging be done through this online form – Don’t forget that you can send positive feedback too…. Our judges work so hard and often a nice word will really help encourage them to continue doing this often thankless task.
Judging feedback can not be submitted anonymously, any feedback provided using false information will be discarded.
Please refrain from making comments over Zoom or in Person.
The form can be found here:
https://tpsi.org.au/feedback/
Some other comments have been regarding members images being displayed, sexist, religious or inappropriate nature during Zoom meetings or at the hall.
We believe that our club is a place for creative expression and learning, and we want to ensure that everyone feels welcome and respected. We would like to remind all members that any form of discrimination, harassment, or inappropriate behaviour will not be tolerated.
We urge all members to be mindful of their language and behaviour when participating in club activities. Please remember that our members are from different backgrounds, are at a different skill level and in general have come to socialise with and learn from each other.
We appreciate your cooperation in creating a respectful environment for all members of our photography club.
