Small Print Competition deadline Thursday 3rd October

The Small Print Competition is a great way of getting feedback, encouragement and experience, for composition, lighting, exposure, etc, without breaking the bank.The last submission date for entries is Thursday 3rd October – please bring them to the club and hand them in to vice chair Richard Paterson (Small print secretary John Strickland will not be there this week.)

Any Club Class member can enter (except previous winners) by submitting up to three prints in each round that have not been digitally altered through programs such as Photoshop. Minimal cropping and normal colour correction is allowed. Prints should be no larger than 7 x 5inches and no smaller than 6 x 4 inches, and should be un-mounted with the entrants name and image title on the reverse (with the use of a self adhesive label to avoid damage to the print).

A series of heats will be held during the season and a number of prints will be held back from each heat for the final. These will be ranked as 1st, 2nd, and 3rd in the final, the winner and first two runners-up are then entitled to display their images at the Clubs Annual Exhibition. The author of the winning image will be awarded the Ada Tyler Cup at the end of the season.
