Print Competition - Round 3
|
The closing date for Round 3 is next Wednesday, January 31 and there is a box for your entries on the stage in Unit 13.
Club level entrants may submit a maximum of 3 prints in each round of the competition. Intermediate and Advanced entrants may submit a maximum of 2.
Prescribed Topic Challenge
For entrants at all levels, one of your 3 or 2 images may be submitted for the optional Prescribed topic challenge. These will be judged together, regardless of your level. This entry must be identified by ticking the box on the print label. Points gained for the Prescribed topic will also accrue to your score at the appropriate level.
A separate tally of Prescribed scores will be kept, with an award for the winner at the end of the season.
The optional Prescribed topic for this round is Lines.
You can download labels for your prints from the Members’ Portal on the website. To find the current labels for prints, either go to Competition Closing Dates and find the download links at the foot of the list or go to Competition Rules & Info > General Guide For Entrants and find the same links there.
It’s essential that you supply a digital copy of each print you enter. This should be the same size as for the PDI competitions – 1600 x 1200 – but there is no need to give any other information than your name and the title. You don’t need to add your membership number or level of entry. Please make sure that you upload the digital copies of your prints via this link: bristolphoto.org.uk/printsupload
The judge for this round will be Peter Orr ARPS from Newbury.
David Alderson

BPS Member Braves The Cold! |
BPS member, Mark Gilbert, braved the cold on New Year's day to photograph some intrepid (some would say, potty) swimmers taking part in the annual New Year's Day dip at Clevedon. He was rewarded for his efforts by having a number of his images reproduced in the North Somerset Times.
