Members are entitled to enter up to three images in the Annual Exhibition: one Colour Print, one Monochrome Print and one digital image.
There is a cost (yet to be determined) for entering printed images which is the cost for the frames.
As for the NPOTY and POTY competitions, all entries are to be e-mailed to the competition cccinternalcomp@gmail.com and the usual rules for mounting and naming images apply. Prints need to be handed in at the Slip Hall.
Please make sure to title each of your images as the names will be displayed on the brochure.
Images will be judged before they are framed. Former club member, Stuart Bould, will be the judge for the Annual Exhibition.
For the Annual Exhibition the prizes to be awarded are:

Best Image in Exhibition
Best Monochrome Image in Exhibition
Best Advanced Image in Exhibition
Best Intermediate Image in Exhibition

An image can win only one prize, so, for example, if a monochrome image wins Best Overall Image in Exhibition, then a different monochrome image will be awarded the Best Monochrome Image in Exhibition prize.
