Discussions around Judging:
There has been a lot of discussion around judging this year, we are working on some changes which will hopefully improve things for 2023. For further information see this post:

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:
https://www.psq.org.au/uploads/9/2/9/2/92924276/2020-11-26_psq_judges_manual.pdf
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.

January AGM
The AGM will be on the 24th of January. Committee nomination forms and proxy voting forms will be sent out shortly.

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.

Focus Stacking
Graham Harris has volunteered to do a Focus Stacking Night for 2023.
