End of year competitions for 2012

Stephen Edmonds

Due to Melbourne Cup Day, our judging night for the November competition is being held on Tuesday 30 October. It will be in the craft room as usual, just one week earlier.

This night is also the deadline for entries into the end of year competitions. Of images entered throughout the year (including the November competition), members can select from those to enter the end of year competition with three images in each of:

  • Colour printed
  • Monochrome printed
  • Open EDI

The entry must have been entered into a 2012 monthly competition and in the same format. A print must have been previously entered as a print, and an EDI must have been previously entered as an EDI. An EDI cannot be printed and entered as a print, or vice versa.

The end of year judging night is Tuesday December 4 and as always we ask that you bring your partners/loved ones and a small plate of food.

Also, don’t forget about the President’s Trophy. The topic this year is “bugs / creepy crawly’s”.

8th Pakenham National – Results

Andy Armitage

This is a quick post to let you all know about the wonderful results that club members scored at the recent Pakenham National Photographic Exhibition. Among the entrants was Dave Sumner who received 5 acceptances, Stephen Edmonds who had 4 acceptances and Vicki Moritz with 1 acceptance.  However the rising star appears to be John Mallet who had a second place in the ‘Open Prints’ and a second place and an acceptance in the ‘Portraiture’ section which is a great result, well done John.

Rosie and I exhibited some of our photojournalistic efforts but were not successful, both of us scoring 11 points of a possible 15 and just one point off the acceptance mark.  Scoring an acceptance means that your image is good but not good enough to get a place and you are honoured by having your images shown in the exhibition.  The exhibition weekend is held on the 22nd & 23rd September at the Cardinia Cultural Centre, Lakeside Boulevard, Pakenham, Victoria 3810. 

Please check this Pakenham Camera Club Website link for details.
