Competitions 2012 Download PDF Documents From Here: This page is a brief overview of the club's competitions. Members should familiarise themselves with the rules in full, which can be found by clicking on the buttons above, along with the dates, set themes and judges for the year. There will be five monthly Digital Projected Image competitions and five monthly Print competitions. "Present a Panel" will be one of the five monthly competitions in each category. Digital and Print competitions will be held on separate nights. The Awards Monthly competitions Each monthly competition will have a set theme. Members may enter a maximum of 1 'Open' image and a maximum of 1 image on the set theme. Each image is scored out of 20 thus giving a score out of 40. In the case of the "Present a Panel" competition 4 images are required and will be scored out of 20 as a single panel. This score is then doubled to keep it in proportion to the other scores. The 4 highest scores from all the monthly competitions will be recorded (i.e. the lowest monthly score for digital and prints will be dropped). This will determine the Best Print Photographer 2011 and Best Digital Photographer 2011. A trophy will be awarded to the two winners. The Annual Competitions The Annual Print and Annual Digital Competitions will not be scored but will require the judge to declare one outright winning image by elimination. Up to a maximum of 3 images may be entered in the Annual competitions, and these may be images that have been used previously in a monthly competition. The two Annual competitions are a showcase of the best work of the club, and often have a more prestigious judge, so you are encouraged to enter your highest scoring images. A trophy will be presented to the winner in each category. The Joe Vowles Memorial Trophy The monthly scores from both Prints and Digital are added together after the 2 lowest monthly scores from all ten monthly competitions have been deducted. The member then having the highest total score will be awarded the Joe Vowles Memorial Trophy to hold for one year. The late Joe Vowles was a founding member of the Derby City Photographic Club and his widow donated the Joe Vowles Trophy to the club in his memory.
