VAPS Interclub Results – Geelong 2014

Not many Waverley members attended the convention this year, I hadn’t heard of anyone who was attending either the lectures or the dinner. However, there is still the matter of the interclub results and we have done exceedingly well again. I’ll break down the results into and individual and team scores. I must again say a very big thank you to the image selection team and the hard working coordinator, Donna Clark. Donna runs around coordinating the selections, picking up the images and ensuring that they get to VAPS on time. All of this in her own time and at her own expense, the results you see here are largely because of Donna’s relentless efforts.

First we have the results from the Audio Visual entries, then the prints and Electronic Images.

You can assume that because of the manner in which the images are judged, they were picked in the first instance on their initial impact and then with greater scrutiny once they had made some sort of grade. Only images receiving 15, 14 or 13points normally go on to be scrutinised further. This makes this competition a little harder than other interclub competitions because not only do the images need to have initial impact, they have to be able to stand up against close scrutiny also.

Thanks again everyone for their outstanding images and even more outstanding hard work. 5 years ago we didn’t even enter any images into the VAPS Interclub and now were scoring high and doing well. Keep it up for 2015 and we can be the TOP club for 2015.

Thanks

Dave Sumner
