Thank you to all the members who entered this comp.
ALL members 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.
If you haven’t scored images yet, please login and do it ASAP. (Note you must be logged into MPC for this to work)
