Judging at the Club Meeting is conducted to provide ‘winners’ for the evening and provide as much feedback to the club members as possible.
Note: – Due to the quantity of entries each month, it is not possible for all to be provided with feedback, however we request the judge comment on all Novice entries…

There are four Categories – and a Novice:
•Theme
•Theme Modified
•Open
•Open Modified and
•Novice

Some months there may not be any Gold or even Silver, or there may well be several ‘Golds’ or ‘Silvers’. This will depend of the quality of entries and the Judge on the evening.
Please remember, the competition is meant to be challenging and provide some learning aspects of the art of photography, and the judges decisions may not be the one you agree with.
Please respect the efforts of the Judge (it is not easy) and take their advice with the correct attitude.
Good Luck

Gold: A Terrific Photo – has superb visual appeal, a great composition – sharp where required, well defined, technically correct. The image stands out above the rest at the level being judged. The Judge considers this image worthy of entering into a competition. You should be congratulated on a!chieving a great result.

Silver: A Great Photo – most aspects of technical correction – with small effort(s) would make a competition image.

Bronze: A Good Photo – worthy of a mention and artistically interesting. Some aspects could be improved, but you are on the right track!
