Next week we have something a little different from the norm, when we welcome Lisa Victoria BA (Hons).
Lisa is a professional full-time photographer who specialises in "family photography" including newborn, baby, family, maternity, and event photography and was Bristol's Family Photographer of The Year in 2020. She lives locally in Bristol, and travels all over the UK as a freelance photographer. She takes photographs in people’s homes, on location, at events and also at some amazing landscape locations. Her work has been published in VOGUE Italia.

Unless some new disaster strikes, we’ll be enjoying actual, physical prints once again from now on. We hope printers are being fired up, dried-out inks replaced and mountboard dug out from its long sleep.
Please consult previous newsletters and/or the BPS website for the new rules about the number of allowed entries and the changed status of the Prescribed category. If you’ve already coped with entering PDI Round 1, you should have no problems.
The closing date for Round 1 of the Print Competition is Wednesday, September 22, by which time we should be back to meeting at Unit 13. If you are unable to attend in person on that day, we have arranged with WEX that you can hand in your print entries to them any time the shop is open, up to and including the closing date. We are grateful to the WEX staff for offering this facility.
The Prescribed topic for Print Round 1 is Street/Candid.
Please note that entry labels for the backs of your prints will now be downloadable from the website for you to cut out and stick on. They are also available as an attachment to this newsletter.
Thank you for supporting last season’s NotThePrint competitions. Remember that images entered in those rounds are eligible for submission as real prints. We look forward to seeing some great prints – and plenty of them – this year.

New Rules
The maximum number of images submitted by Intermediate and Advanced entrants will be two, while entry to the Prescribed challenge will be optional and open to all.
- Club entrants may submit three images. One of these images may be for the optional Prescribed topic. Points gained for the Prescribed topic will accrue to the entrant’s Club score.
- Intermediate entrants may submit two images, one of which may be for the optional Prescribed topic. Points gained for the Prescribed topic will accrue to the entrant’s Intermediate score.
- Advanced entrants may submit two images, one of which may be for the optional Prescribed topic. Points gained for the Prescribed topic will accrue to the entrant’s Advanced score.
A separate tally of Prescribed scores will be kept, with awards for the Print and PDI winners at the end of the season.
There will be no printed Handbook this year, so please consult the BPS Website for full details of the rules and instructions how to submit your digital entries.

Salon acceptances: BPS photographers are now achieving large numbers of salon acceptances and constraints on time and space mean we can't include them all. So please only advise of awards or other milestones.
Contrary to popular belief, I do not possess psychic powers and need you to tell me if you've had successes. If you want to blow your own trumpet (or someone else's), then this is the place to do it. Please let me know and I'll include details in a future issue.

If you have any photographic items for sale, drop me a line and I'll include it in the next newsletter. Please make sure that you provide contact details, price and full description of the sale items (pictures always help).

IMPORTANT: Personal Detail Changes |
Please don't forget that if you change your address (home or email), or gain additional photographic distinctions, it would be appreciated if you could let the Membership Secretary know so that she can keep her records up to date, this will also ensure that you continue to receive your newsletters - please email all changes to membership@bristolphoto.org.uk.
The distinctions we have on record are those shown at the top of this newsletter, please remember, if you don't tell us we can't possibly know!
DO NOT REPLY TO THE NEWSLETTER.

Make Money For BPS Every Time You Shop On Amazon! |
With the thought of on-line shopping still looming large in many members' minds. It's worth remembering that if you so wish, each and every one of you can support BPS with every purchase you make on Amazon by using Amazon Smile. Click on the link below – then it’s self-explanatory.
Shopping using Smile is no different to your normal Amazon shopping and costs you nothing, it's just that you need to tell it that you wish to use Smile and then we get some pennies!
