Hello, Firstname
 
GB Cup and Trophy - Call For Entries

Hi Everyone.
 
Following hot on the heels of our PSA Print successes mentioned in the Newsletter, I now need images to submit for the above four competitions.

Whilst I have copies of previous PDI competition entries and the winners from the Print Competitions (we all know the judges don’t always get these right) I know many of you have an additional library of excellent nature and open category images that I’m missing.
 
REMEMBER, in the 2020 competitions we did brilliantly – hopefully this year, with your help, we can do even better Wink
 
General Requirements – across all four competitions
·         Up to 24 images (the top 12 scores are used to rank the clubs – in the event of a draw, they use the 13th, then 14th, etc, until they can separate the clubs hence the need for a larger entry.
·         no more than 4 images per author in each competition
·         entries cannot have been used in any of the previous competitions (so we cannot use last year’s prints in the PDI section), nor can they bear a ‘close resemblance’ to a previous entry.
 
GB Trophy – Open – (PRINTS)
A4 un-mounted images – images will not be returned.
(as last year, I’m happy to print for you, any images making the final selection if the logistics of getting prints to me are too much)
 
GB Trophy – Nature – (PRINTS)
A4 un-mounted images – images will not be returned.

Timetable
To allow time for postage of the print entries ideally I’d like to complete the selection BEFORE Christmas Smile
 
In the first instance please eMail a selection of images at 1600x1200px max to be considered, by Friday 17 December. 
 
If your image is selected for one of the PDI competitions I’ll let you know which images have been chosen as our entry. 
 
If your image is selected for a PRINT competition, I’ll request a full resolution file copy (if you want me to print) or ask that you bring your own print to the club on Wednesday 5 January 2022 for me to collect. 
 
Any questions, give me a shout

External Competitions Secretary
