Waverley Camera Club

Information and details about our annual competitions

Just a quick reminder to those who don’t know, the President’s Trophy will close for entries at midnight on the 30th November 2009.

This year, we will be running an end of year competition for our beginners, new members and registered guests.

If you fall into this classification, the idea of this competition is to encourage you, and get you used to entering images into our competitions

The competition will be judged by none other than our beginners group co-ordinator and club president, Pete Davies!

If you want to enter this competition (and you should) you are invited to submit just ONE entry in an “Open” classification, whichever entry YOU consider to be your best entry. You can submit their entry as an EDI to comp@waverleycameraclub.org . All you have to do is make sure the subject line says “EOY Beginners, New Members & Guests Competition” (Copy and paste this if you like!)

The competition is open to all “B” graders, to all new members to all beginners and our registered guests. The proviso being that you should have submitted entries in no more than THREE of our monthly competitions. If you are not sure if you qualify for this contact Jill Myers our membership secreatrey, by e mail and she will clarify for you.

The competition will be judged on the last of our monthly “Beginners Group” meetings on November 24th. The closing date for EDI entries is Nov 22nd. If you are submitting a print, just bring it along on the night of Nov 24th.

I think, and hope, that this idea will stimulate our beginners to understand what is involved in entering a competition, and to help them loose their reluctance to  enter competitions.

As with the regular EOY competition, a prize and trophy will be awarded to the winner.

Good Luck…and don’t be shy…remember if you don’t enter, you can’t win!

G’day Folks,

It’s almost end of year comp time again. This year things are slightly different:

• You can enter up to 3 COLOUR prints in the Colour Prints section.
• You can enter up to 3 MONOCHROME prints in the Mono Prints section.
• You can enter up to 3 EDI in the EDI section.
• EDI’s can be either colour or mono – they all compete against each other.

All of the entries MUST have been entered into one of the WCC 2009 monthly competitions. All of the entries MUST be entered into the same section in which they were originally entered. For eg: you quite like your EDI entry from the April comp – it must be entered as an EDI, you cannot print it and enter it as a print.

All prints must be in with Albert by this Tuesday (Cup Day). All EDI’s must be submitted by Thursday the 5th of November. To submit an EDI you can either tell comp@waverleycameraclub.org the name of the entry and the month it was entered or send it again and use 12 for the month in the file name.

The President’s Trophy is a bit of fun that we have every year. You can enter up to 4 EDI’s to the President’s Trophy online Gallery anytime until the 30th of November. The subject for this year’s comp is “One Amongst Many”.

Simply email your entries to comp@waverleycameraclub.org and make sure that you point out they are for the President’s Trophy.

Cheers,
Pete
