You may enter -

PRINTS
A total maximum of 18 prints of which
no more than 12 Colour Prints and no more than 12 Monochrome Prints - so you could have (say) 12 CP and 6 MP but whatever the mix you can only enter 18 prints in all. You can enter fewer if you wish.
(The label will ask you to specify Open or Nature and these will be judged separately)

PDI
Up to 15 PDI (split Nature and Open as the entrant wishes but in separate folders which will be judged separately)
plus up to 3 PDI in the "Set Theme" (in a separate folder which will be judged separately).

Comments

Right - lets see if I can get all this sorted. PDI - Each section must be in a separate folder labelled Open, Nature and Set Theme (if you are entering all three sections). Each folder must then have another folder in it with your name on, surname, first name and in that folder are your images. For each section images should be numbered starting at 01, but named as per the monthly comps.
You can enter a maximum of 15 images split between Open and Nature (or just in one section) and up to 3 images in the set theme - see posting above.
All of this must be submitted on one CD clearly labelled with your name.
Given the number of images and the complexity of the task I will not be able to check individual entries so if you make a mistake your images will not go in!!!!

Where do I put Beginner on my entry.

Doesn't apply in prints, just PDI. Type it, preferably on a separate layer, in large bold red letters across the centre of your image.

What Rod meant to say was 'add a B to the end of the image name' thus - Mclean John_01 My winning picture B.

Thank you Mick .

Perhaps that is what I meant.

No list or catalogue is prepared for our Annual Competition, except for the eventual Award Winners, and titles need not be sent to Joyce.

is the dimention of a pdi image the same as you wound enter a club competition?

Can I enter images that have been entered in the club PDI competitions

Yes - as long as they haven't been in a previous Annual comp.

Thanks, and they haven't

Thanks to all the judges from Carluke. They did an excellent job. Thanks also to all those who helped run the day.

Yes, a good day, I really enjoyed the judging. Lots of helpers doing a cracking job - especially Margaret, in and out the kitchen all day!

Hope you all had a great day with many pleasant surprises from the results.

Sorry I couldn't make it on the day - I was in Italy on holiday- and glad to hear that it went so well.

I can't, however find any details of the results - am I missing something?
