PDI League

PDI Competitions

There are four PDI league competitions each season which are run on different dates. Up to two images can be entered for each PDI league competition.

Images entered for the PDI league competition cannot have been used in previous PDI league competitions.

Themed PDI challenge competitions are often run on the same evening, all images entered on any one evening must be different.

Members must submit a PDI of each entered image via photo entry by midnight on the Sunday preceding the competition.

Images are shown in random order with the titles read out. The author is not identified to the judge and feedback, sometimes brief, is given for all images.

Marks are given out of 10 with 1/2 marksfor each image in all competitions.

If there are time pressures, judging of a class may be postponed to a later date.
