2. All entries are PDI format, 1400 x 1050, sRGB format.
3. The aim is not to produce “stunning” images, though that would be good, but it is to see how you interpret your individual challenge
4. Try to have fun doing your challenge, be honest with it and challenge yourself at the same time
5. Bring the entries on the night 21st Feb or email them direct to me [e-mail]
6. Any questions please do ask soonest
7. ENJOY!

Hopefully those that participated enjoyed last night's pick a card challenge. I was asked whether any images used last night could be used in future club comps i.e. PDI.
As it was a bit of fun I see no reason why not but seek clarification form those on highest :-)

No problem to use PDIs from our 'members nights' in other club competitions.  What we need to advise against is entering a PDI in a separate judged PDI comp, e.g. Sport & Games and then using the same image in a PDI heat.  The rules cover this already, but "hey" who reads them!

For clarification, para 28 of the rules applies to themed PDI competitions:

"28. Additional themed PDI competitions may be held on one specific aspect of photography, such as landscape, street, sport, nature etc.  The same rules apply as for the PDI Competitions above, except that there will be only one heat and the highest scoring image will count.  The winners of each themed PDI competition will receive a certificate of their achievement."

Thanks for clarifying this Chris
