New Sliding Scale for Judging: Click on image to make larger
How to use a sliding scale:
Take note of the grade you are scoring, the coloured sections are broken up into blocks and shows the score that should be assigned to an image based on the description below it. In some cases an award may encompass several sections below.
For example:
B Grade, an honour should be assigned to an image that fits the descriptions of any of the first three boxes from the left of the table.
A Grade, an honour should be assigned to an image that fits the descriptions of any of the first two boxes from the left of the table.
Salon grade, an honour should be assigned to an image that fits the description of the first box from the left of the table only.

January Comp Important Please Read:
Technically, there isn’t a January Comp, HOWEVER,
We have opened a non graded comp for January, Members are able to enter two images each, of any kind, there is NO TOPIC, images can be colour, mono or creative. For this exercise there will be no prints.
The comp is open NOW. You will see it in the normal section where you upload images.
The comp closes on the 16th of December.
Once the competition is closed, ALL members will have an opportunity to score all of the images from 1 to 9.
On the 10th Of January (what would be our normal face to face meeting date) we will meet in DeMolay, all of the images will be gone through.
Images will be split up in batches of 5 or 10 (depending how many people attend), one of our PSQA judges will provide feedback, a member from the audience will be called up to also provide feedback, they will rotate as to who goes first. The process will continue until all images are seen.
This will give member a chance to become the judge.
Non Graded Section
The Non Graded section is coming soon. Keep an eye out for more details.
