Closing date for the Creative Competition is 26 June. For the first time, we have an external judge, Phil Cooling FRPS, and so it will be particularly good to have a big, healthy entry – composites, ICMs, kinky penguins … all welcome. You can now enter up to four images in any permutation of PDIs and prints and the only person who can’t enter is last year’s winner. don’t forget to upload PDIs of your prints using this link:www.bristolphoto.org.uk/printsupload
 
The competition rules are shown here:

This is an open competition for up to four images which may be PDIs and/or prints. The Bob Faris Trophy will be awarded to the winner.  The winner of the trophy will not be eligible to enter the next year’s competition.
 
For this competition, a submitted image must have originated as a photographic image or images, produced either in camera or by post processing. All images must be original and may not incorporate elements produced by anyone else. Artwork or computer graphics created by the entrant may be incorporated so long as the original photographic content predominates. Digital skills should be seen as the tools to compose photographic images into one new single image. The final composition will show the photographer’s artistic interpretation.
  1. This is an Open competition, with no levels of entry.
  2. Images may have been entered into any previous club competition, except for previous Creative competitions and may be entered into any subsequent bi-monthly or annual competition, except for subsequent Creative competitions.
  3. Each entrant may submit up to four images. These may be all PDI, all Print or any combination of the two.
  4. The judge will select a Best PDI, a Best Print and award the trophy to one of these two.
  5. The trophy winner will not be eligible to enter the next year’s Creative competition.
