Annual Print Competition - Corrections
There were a couple of errors in the pictures reproduced in yesterday's edition of the newsletter, brought about by members failing to upload jpeg copies of prints submitted to the Annual Print Competition. I have today been down to the h
clubrooms and photographed the two prints in question and they are reproduced below (apologies for less than perfect copies).
 
It is worth noting that the requirement to upload jpegs is not just an extra rule dreamed up by Council, it is there for a couple of reasons:
  1. To provide an ongoing digital database of submitted prints that can be used, for example, by the External Competition Secretary when looking for images/prints to represent BPS in external competitions.
  2. To allow the newsletter editor (me!) to download digital copies of competition winning prints for inclusion in the newsletter.
