These are competitions amongst Society members and are judged by a variety of experienced judges or professional photographers. There is a mix of open and themed competitions, and images are marked out of 20. Any member can enter and judging takes place anonymously, so it's a great forum for everyone to have their images constructively critiqued.
The 2019-20 Competition:
The total scores from the four print and DPI (digital projected image) competition rounds held during the season decided who were our "top" photographers in each category.
On Tuesday 3rd March, we had the judging session for our fourth and final round of the 2019-20 season. The theme was "Belonging", and the judge was Tim Morland. The blog report is available here.
The results of the round and the overall scores for the year are laid out in the totalisers which you can access here:
