SLF PRINT Competitions: FINALS DAY
Saturday 23rd April 2022 Finals Day
Saturday 26th February 2022 Closing date for PhotoEntry
Thursday 3rd March 2022 Hand-in all Prints at Delegates meeting
We are delighted that Keith Evans FRPS DPAGB, and Marie-Ange Bouchard ARPS CPAGB, have agreed to judge our competitions.
Finals Day brings together all the Federation’s print competitions.
1. The Final of the Inter-club Panel Competition
2. The Open Colour Prints
3. The Open Monochrome Prints
4. The Print of the Year
The Inter-club Plate competition cannot be run, as all clubs will be in the Final on this day.
Inter-club Print Panels
To date, ten clubs have indicated that they will enter this competition. Each will present a panel of eight prints, plus a tiebreak print. Entry will be through PhotoEntry. Entries can be modified by clubs as required, up to the closing date: 26th February.
All prints must be handed in at the Delegates meeting: 3rd March
Recognising that eighty prints could be an unfair burden for one judge, we will be splitting the judging of the total entry into two sections.
Section 1 will include the first four prints from each club’s entry, and will be judged by Keith Evans.
Section 2 will include the last four prints from each club’s entry, and will be judged by Marie-Ange Bouchard.
The winning club and the second-placed club will be awarded trophies.
No certificates will be given.
Print of the Year
This will be selected by the judge(s) from the top-scoring prints among the eighty prints of the inter-club panels.
Open Colour & Open Monochrome Prints
Entries must be submitted on PhotoEntry through the member’s club. Closing date: 26th February.
All prints must be handed-in at the Delegates meeting: 3rd March
The prints will be pre-judged. The judge will select the winning print, three other prints for certificates, plus a further small selection of prints for comment at the easel on Finals Day.
Prints must conform to these SLF rules, including this added requirement agreed last year: “No print may be in both the Club panel and in the Open competition in the same season. “
“Any member of a Federation society may enter up to two prints of their choosing.
Items are not eligible which have been awarded a certificate in any previous Federation competition. No item may be entered into more than one discipline in the open competitions, whether in the same or a subsequent season, e.g. a projected digital image cannot be re-used as a colour or monochrome print.”
The winning colour print will be awarded the Punch Bowl trophy.
The winning monochrome print will be awarded the Retina Cup.
