Results of Round 2 of the Print Competition were published in Issue 465 of the Newsletter. Unfortunately Linda Meaton was out of the Country at the time and was unable to let me have a copy of her image that came 1st in the Prescribed Class. The winning image is reproduced below:

 

 

For the past couple of years, members whose prints have received awards in the club competitions have been asked to send me digital versions of their successful prints. This has helped create a bank of images for selecting BPS entries for external competitions.

 

Now, starting with print Competition Round 3, we are going to ask all entrants to submit a digital image along with each of their prints. This is not a sadistic plan to complicate your life but a recognition that judges do not always get it right and many fine images which might do us proud in external competitions go unrecorded.

 

The closing date for Print Round 3 is 26 January.  Details of how and where to submit the digital copies of your prints will be published before then. Watch this space.

We have received the following from WCPF HQ:

 

 

 

 

The 2022 WCPF Members Exhibition (MX) is currently being finalised and the entry system will be available in January 2022. Previous entrants will receive an ‘invitation to enter’ email, and a link to the entry system will be available from the WCPF websites MX page once it is open.

• Terms and Conditions The entry classes remain as last year with 3 print classes (Open, Mono, Nature) and 4 PDI classes (Open, Nature, Creative, Photo Travel). The class definitions will be available on the entry website.

 

• Awards The exhibition has PAGB Patronage and PAGB Gold, Silver and Bronze medals plus Selector Ribbons will be awarded in each class. Highly commended certificates will also be awarded in each class. The ‘Margaret Aven’ trophy for the entrant who gains the most acceptances across all 7 classes, and ‘Best Wildlife’ trophy in both Nature classes will also be awarded again this year.

2. To opt in to the visitors favourite print image lottery and the sale of prints. Prints will be offered for sale at a standard price of £35. Any postage fees required would be an extra cost.

We hope that members of WCPF clubs will continue to support the exhibition and submit their entries in good time. Clubs may wish to collect print entries from their members and make a single delivery to the appointed AES. This will make the process more efficient and effective for club members and the AES. The name & contact details for an entrants AES will be notified on completion of the online entry.

 

If anything is unclear or there are any questions then please get in touch with the Exhibition Secretary by email at mpix.wcpf@gmail.com
