HASSRA FYLDE PHOTOGRAPHIC SOCIETY

Club Competitions 2009-10 Season

QUARTERLY COMPETITIONS:

The society holds four competitions throughout the season, This allows members to show off their prints - digital images and slides against each other, a kind man called a "Judge" will make comments and give points for the winning images. At the end of the season the points are added up and awards are given.

DIGITAL KNOCKOUT:

Up to four digital images may be entered on the night. They must not have been seen by the club previously i.e. the audience must be unaware of the identity of the photographers entering.
Random pairs of images will be projected (against each other) and the audience will vote for the ones they prefer - the
losing entries being eliminated at each selection, so
eventually there will be only one winning image left
