ZOOM MEETING/PRESENTATION
Photo-Competitions have always been and will continue to be essential part of the Society’s DNA. Since the Gurney Cup was first presented in 1909 for the ‘best local record’ competitions have been an integral part of each season at NDPS and next season will be no different.
From September 2021 there are new Competition Rules and Conditions of Entry for all NDPS competitions which members will now find in the Members’ Area>Useful Documents area of the website.
In addition, you will also find the additional Rules that apply for all next season’s individual competitions including:
Photographer of the Year
Annual Print Panel Award
Images of the Year (both print and projected digital image)
Monthly Image (our friendly monthly competition)
Whether you are a seasoned participant or about to enter NDPS competition for the first time this eMeeting has been designed to provide you with all the information you need so that we can all enjoy the fun of taking part:
Image Eligibility and Copyright
Definitions that apply to NDPS competitions
Preparation of Digital Images – size, colour space, metadata requirements
Naming digital images ready to be submitted via the website
What happens if your image is rejected
Preparing mounted prints
A look at the rules for the main annual competitions
PLEASE NOTE - Members who have participated in last year’s competitions would benefit from attending this meeting as the Rules are significantly different in some respects from 1st September 2021 and the software we will be using AUTOMATICALLY REJECTS incorrectly formatted and named images submitted.
In addition, the deadline for submission has been brought forward for both the submission of digital files and prints before the competition date to allow us to use judges who may not reside in Norfolk but much further afield.
This meeting will be recorded so members who are unable to attend will be able to download a copy from the Members’ Area afterwards.
Whilst this presentation is specifically covering NDPS competitions the information it provides generally applies in principle to all Inter-club Battles and External Competitions.
If new members of the Society or anyone who is new to photography feel they would like 1-2-1 mentoring on this subject please email ndps.infocus@gmail.com.
