VPC Quick Guide to Competitions
* There are usually SIX internal competitions per year.
* Then at the end of the season your best TWO prints of the year get entered in the ROBIN POWELL MEMORIAL TROPHY competition.
(The two prints that YOU think are your best – after you have improved them as a judge has suggested – or not if you disagree with the judge – It’s your choice).
* You may only enter a photograph once in a competition in a year.
* Each photograph is to be mounted on board/card in your preferred manner – but no mount can be larger than 20x16 inches.
You may print on A3 or A4 paper – that also is your choice.
* There are also usually a few small internal fun competitions per year. These can be mounted on any size card but not larger than 20x16 inches.
In an en-print competition the prints can be up to 7x5 inches and mounted or not – your choice.
* As a club affiliated to the Welsh Photographic Federation we enter several WPF competitions per year and also we are involved in battles with other clubs. Your club has a selection committee, which chooses entries for these competitions by an unbiased voting method. Every member of the club may put forward prints to be considered, but the prints must be mounted on 20x16 inch board.
Remember – all prints for internal competitions MUST be with the competition secretary TWO WEEKS before the date of the competition. The Competition Secretary is Mostyn Gardner.
All prints chosen for external competitions are the property of the selection committee for as long as necessary.
