Print Panel Competition Thursday 9th April 2026

This competition is open to all. Here are the instructions:
1.⁠ ⁠A panel will consist of between three and six prints. Each print must be individually mounted. Composite images–that is those made up of different elements combined to create a single image–are acceptable, but multiple images on one mount, however arranged, will not be accepted. For instance, triptychs, any image composed of smaller images in a ‘patch work’, whether there is space between the component parts or not, will not be accepted in this competition. As a rule of thumb, if the joins show, the resulting image cannot be entered in this competition.
2.⁠ ⁠Prints may be displayed in 1, 2 or 3 rows in any combination. They should be numbered from left to right, top to bottom (facing stage) and be accompanied by two copies of the hanging plan on separate sheets of paper. One should have your name on it and the other without please.
3.⁠ ⁠The panel should have a ‘theme’ connecting the prints and this theme must be explained in the title. e.g. ‘Images of Chichester’. This “theme statement” should be included with your name on the back of one hanging plan and the other nameless but with the title..
4.⁠ ⁠The size of the mount is as for Club Print Competitions and must be 50cm x 40cm.
5.⁠ ⁠Each member may submit only one panel.
6.⁠ ⁠Prints that have already been used in Club Competitions may also be submitted as part of the panel.
7.⁠ ⁠The panels are to be submitted on the night of the Competition. Each panel must be submitted in a plastic bag together with one copy of the hanging plan. The second hanging plan will be submitted separately and used by the judge for previewing. Panels will be displayed in a random order by selecting a bag and putting the contents on the display stand as guided by the hanging plan.
8.⁠ ⁠Individual panels will not be given marks, but the Judge will comment on the merits of the panels and will select the 1st, 2nd and 3rd.
9.⁠ ⁠The Shubotham Cup will be awarded to the entrant judged to be in 1st place
Good luck!
