These are made up of\nthree print competitions for each class, that is Advanced, Intermediate and\nClub Class, and three Projected Digital Image (PDI) competitions for each\nclass.&nbsp; Competitions for Club Class and Intermediate members are held on\nthe same evening.&nbsp; &nbsp;There is also a PDI of the Year Competition for\nimages previously entered in the PDI competitions, and an annual Print Panel\nCompetition, both of which are open to members in all classes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, there\nis a Small Print Competition, previously known as the En Print Competition.\nThis is limited to Club Class only.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>None of these are\nobligatory. However, competitions do give members a chance to display their\nwork and have it assessed by a qualified judge. The judges\u2019 comments can help\nmembers to improve their photographic techniques and enhance their abilities to\n\u201csee\u201d the pictures that surround them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Any work submitted\nfor Club Competitions and Exhibitions, however produced or printed, must be\nbased on a photographic image made and manipulated solely by the entrant.\nSimilarly, any graphic art incorporated into the image must be the entrant\u2019s\nown work and must not be a predominant feature of the final image. An entrant\nmay not use any image for which he or she cannot claim the copyright. Text and\ntitles may appear within the image but&nbsp;<strong>not<\/strong>&nbsp;the\nentrant\u2019s name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Selection\nCommittee of the Club is made up of advanced members. The Selection Committee\nwill determine which class new members entering competitions for the first time\nwill compete in. This decision will be made by the Selection Committee having\nviewed six or more prints of the new members\u2019 work. &nbsp;Members may not enter\nany Club competitions until their work has been assessed and they have been\nassigned to a class. The Selection Committee will also make recommendations on\nthe promotion of members from one class to the next at the beginning of each\nClub year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Any dispute within\na competition will be resolved by the Competition Secretary and the Chair of\nthe Selection Committee. If necessary, the Club Chair will be the final\narbiter, whose decision will be final.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Submitting an image\nfor internal competitions permits the Club to reproduce all or part of the\nimage for publication and\/or display on the Club\u2019s website to promote the\nClub\u2019s activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Print Competitions<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>1) Members entering Print or PDI competitions will compete in one of\nthree classes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Club Class (C)<\/li><li>Intermediate (I)<\/li><li>Advanced (A).<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>2) Prints may be\nblack &amp; white or colour, or any combination of these. A print may be\nchemically, digitally or trade processed but must be the copyright of the entrant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3) The same image\ncan only be entered once in the internal competitions either as a print or as a\nPDI. It may not be entered as both a print and a PDI, nor as both colour and\nmono versions, nor can images be submitted in more than one season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>4) Only three\nprints may be submitted by an entrant in any one competition. Submitted prints\nshould be consecutively numbered to show the entrant\u2019s preferred sequence of\nselection since acceptance of all prints submitted cannot be guaranteed if the\noverall number of entries is too large for meaningful appraisal by the\njudge.&nbsp; Entries must be submitted at least 14 days prior to the date of\nthe competition, as shown in the Club\u2019s programme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>5) Each print must\nshow, on the reverse of the mount, the name and class of the entrant as well as\nthe title of the print. \u2018Untitled\u2019 or \u2018No Title\u2019 is not acceptable as a\ntitle.&nbsp; The title may also appear on the front of the print.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>6) Prints will be\npresented to the judge in random order within each class. The judge will award\na mark out of 10 to each image, including half marks. Certificates of Merit are\nawarded to the images that achieve 9 or more marks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>7) The Annual Award\nof Trophies for the Print Competitions will be based solely on the total marks\nachieved in the three competitions. The appropriate trophy will be awarded to\nthe entrant with the highest number of marks in the each class. In the case of\na tie the count- back system of scoring will be used i.e. most 10s, then 9.5s,\nand so on, until there is a clear winner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>8) All entries must\nbe on a standard mount, the size of which is 50cm by 40cm. &nbsp;Mounts which\nare 20ins by 16ins are not acceptable due to the requirements of external\ncompetitions the Club also takes part in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>9) Entrants must\nalso provide a PDI version of each image. This will not be judged but will be\nprojected on the night of the competition so that the audience may see the\nimage more clearly. The PDI will be submitted in the same format as that used\nfor PDI competitions (see below).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Projected Digital Images (PDI)<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>1) Entrants may\nsubmit up to three PDIs in each competition and up to two for the <strong>PDI of the Year competition<\/strong>, chosen by\nthe entrant from submissions made to the season\u2019s previous two rounds. PDIs\nshould be entered in order of preference. This will enable the Competition\nSecretary to withdraw the least favoured entry from the competition in the\nevent of the overall entry being too large for meaningful appraisal by the\njudge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2) The same image\ncan only be entered once in the internal competitions either as a print or as a\nPDI. It may not be entered as both a Print and a PDI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3) Image files\nrequirements:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>a) The maximum size of the image is currently 1600 pixels horizontal by\n1200 pixels vertical, but this is subject to alteration depending on the way in\nwhich the image will be viewed and as technologies change. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>b) Images must be in JPEG format and at maximum quality but not bigger\nthan 5MB and each file must have a .jpg extension.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>c) The working colour space must be&nbsp;<strong>sRGB<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>d) Images entered with an incorrect working colour space might not\nproject acceptably and it is the entrant\u2019s responsibility to calibrate their\nmonitors and upload images correctly. If the image colour space is incorrect\nany resulting colour changes are not the responsibility of Competition\nSecretary or Projectionist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Advice on resizing\nan image may be found in the Members area of the website and help is also\navailable from other members of the club.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>4) All images are\nto be uploaded to the appropriate PDI Upload site (details of which will be\nprovided prior to the competition). When uploading it is the responsibility of\nthe entrant to ensure the title of each image is correct. Do not assume the\nUpload system will guess the correct title from the filename.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>5) Entries must be\nsubmitted at least 14 days prior to the competition date as shown in the Club\nprogramme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>6) &nbsp;Images\nwill be presented to the Judge in random order within each class. The Judge\nwill award a mark out of 10 to each image including half marks. Certificates of\nMerit will be awarded to images gaining 9 or more points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>7) The Annual Award\nof Trophies for PDI Competitions will be based solely on the total points\nachieved in the three PDI competitions. The appropriate trophy will be awarded\nto the entrant with the highest number of marks within the class. In case of a\ntie, the count-back system of scoring will be used i.e. most 10s, then 9.5s,\nand so on, until there is a clear winner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>8) The PDI of the\nYear competition is open to entrants from all classes. Each will submit two\nimages which have been previously submitted in earlier PDI competitions for the\nseason in question. These images do not have to have been awarded a credit\nscore. Marks are not awarded in this competition. The judge will select 1<sup>st<\/sup>, 2<sup>nd<\/sup>&nbsp;and 3<sup>rd<\/sup>&nbsp;places. The Waddington Cup will be awarded to the entrant in 1<sup>st<\/sup>&nbsp;place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Digital Upload Site<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>Images should be\nuploaded through the appropriate site link at this location&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.photocompentries.net\/?org=chichestercc\">Click here for Upload Site<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Print Panel Competition<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>1) A panel will\nconsist of between three and six prints. Each print must be individually\nmounted. Composite images \u2013 that is those made up of different elements\ncombined to create a&nbsp;<em>single<\/em>&nbsp;image \u2013\nare acceptable, but multiple images on one mount, however arranged, will not be\naccepted. For instance, triptychs, any image composed of smaller images in a\n\u2018patchwork\u2019, whether there is space between the component parts or not, will\nnot be accepted in this competition. As a rule of thumb, if the joins show, the\nresulting image cannot be entered in this competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2) Prints may be\ndisplayed in 1, 2 or 3 rows in any combination. They should be numbered from\nleft to right, top to bottom (facing stage) and be accompanied by two copies of\nthe hanging plan on separate sheets of paper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3) The panel should\nhave a \u2018theme\u2019 connecting the prints and this theme must be explained in the\ntitle. e.g. \u2018Images of Chichester\u2019. This \u201ctheme statement\u201d should be included\nwith your name on the back of the hanging plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>4) The size of the\nmount is as for Club Print Competitions and must be 50cm x 40cm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>5) Each member may\nsubmit only one panel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>6) Prints that have\nalready been used in Club Competitions may also be submitted as part of the\npanel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>7) The panels are\nto be submitted on the night of the Competition. Each panel must be submitted\nin a plastic bag together with one copy of the hanging plan. The second hanging\nplan will be submitted separately and used by the judge for previewing. Panels\nwill be displayed in a random order by selecting a bag and putting the contents\non the display stand as guided by the hanging plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>8) Individual panels will not be\ngiven marks, but the Judge will comment on the merits of the panels and will\nselect the 1st, 2nd and 3rd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>9) The Shubotham\nCup will be awarded to the entrant judged to be in 1<sup>st<\/sup>&nbsp;place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Small Print Competition<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>The Small Print\nCompetition is intended to give Club Class members who do not have either the\nfacilities or inclination to participate in the \u201cfull scale\u201d Print Competitions\na chance to match their work against others of like mind. The competition is\nopen to all Club Class in the Print section, apart from previous winners of\nthis competition.&nbsp; New members should be aware that they need to have been\nassessed as a Club Class by providing images to be assessed at the start of the\nyear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1) Any Club Class\nmember, apart from previous winners of the competition, may compete by\nsubmitting:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>a) Up to three prints in each round, which must be no larger than 7 x 5ins\nand no smaller than 6 x 4ins<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>b) Prints can be from film or digital files and may be commercially\nproduced by standard processors (Boots, Jessops, etc) or can be printed by the\nClub Class<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>c) Prints must not have been excessively digitally manipulated.

A number of prints will be held back\nfrom each heat for the final. These will be ranked as 1<sup>st<\/sup>, 2<sup>nd<\/sup>&nbsp;and 3<sup>rd&nbsp;<\/sup>in the final. &nbsp;The winner and first two\nrunners-up are entitled to display their winning images at the Club\u2019s Annual\nExhibition (subject to 6, below).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>5) The author of\nthe winning image will be awarded the Ada Tyler Cup at the end of the season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>6) The winner and the runners-up are responsible for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>a) Enlarging their images to a suitable size for the Annual Exhibition;\nthe Club will reimburse expenses related to this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>b) Mounting and titling their images in accordance with normal Club\npractice of 50cm by 40cm mounts, with titles on the reverse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>c) Providing the mounted image to the Exhibition Secretary in good time<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>7) The Small Print\nSecretary shall use all reasonable efforts to return prints to entrants when\nthey are no longer required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>8) The winner of\nthe Small Print competition will not be allowed to compete in this competition\nin future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>9)&nbsp; If an\nimage has been entered in the Small Print Competition it may not be entered as\na Print or PDI in the main competitions until the following season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Annual Exhibition<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>Each year, usually\nin August, the Club holds an exhibition of work by its members.
