​

1.   Club members only may enter up to 3 Prints and up to 3 Pdis (projected digital image) in each competition.

​

2.   Images must be the members own work and may be colour, monochrome or a mixture. No entry placed 1st, 2nd, or 3rd in any previous internal competition may be submitted.

​

3.   Entries for competition should have been taken relatively recently (ideally 12 months).  Note: competition is designed to enhance or further your photographic journey rather than be reflective.

 

Guidance on the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI)

• Photographs should be the original work of the author. Generative images (AI), or images where material elements have been generated by AI are NOT permitted.

• The post processing of original images including, but not restricted to, cloning (i.e. elements from within the photographer’s own work), or removal of noise or subject elements and so on, is permitted. Any member requiring further guidance should refer to authoritative material provided by PAGB or RPS.

 

Submission of Entries - General

• Members should e-mail the titles and attached photo files to the Competition Secretary using longmyndcameraclub@gmail.com  by 7pm on the FRIDAY before each competition. 

• Include copies for both Pdi and prints (the print copies are for records &/or possible external inter-club use)

​

Submitting Prints

• Prints should be brought along on competition night and booked in at the ‘entries desk’.

• Prints should be displayed within a maximum mount size of 500mm x 400mm (c. 20” x 16”).Photos may be home or commercially printed. On the reverse of the mount, please write the title of the print and your membership number (not name).

 

Submitting Projected Digital Images (PDIs)

• PDIs should be high quality JPEGs with file extension “.jpg”.

• The maximum dimensions of an image should be:  1600 pixels wide by 1200 pixels tall 

 

 

​

• Each Pdi file attachment should be numbered (“01", “02", “03"), followed by a single space, and then the image title.  For example:

                       01 Standing Stones.jpg

                       02 Misty Morning.jpg

                       03 Sunset Reflection.jpg

 

n.b.      If possible, submit images using an sRGB profile for a reliable colour rendering on screen, and always keep a full-size original file.

 

Additional guidance on preparing images, including mounting, for competition is available on the Tips page and the Links page)
