Entering photo competitions – some points for beginners

I would be interested in comments on the draft of this article. It is meant to be a guide for beginners in club competition who may be unaware of some of the conventions in judging. Currently this is hosted on my own site until the version is finalised.

Alice Black Award winner June 2020

To perpetuate the memory of our late member Alice Black, the club has introduced the ‘Alice Black Memorial Trophy’ to be contested each year on a perpetual basis.

At each month’s Aggregate Competition the judge will select an image from all those entered as the monthly Alice Black Image – they will use their own criteria to select the image regardless of the score given.  All images submitted in the Aggregate Competition have the potential to become a possible winner of the Trophy as there is no restriction on the grade of the entrant or the medium in which the image is presented.

This month’s winner is “The Lookout” by Pierre Boudib.
