Print Competitions

You may find it helpful to read the guide to creating Prints.

• Print titles and a PDI version of the print must be submitted on or before the Sunday preceding the competition via Photo Entry
• In the PDI version of the image, the “Entry Title” should be the prints title. File name is the choice of the author. It is helpful if the colour and shape of mount (landscape, portrait or square) is entered in the “Entry Reference”.
• Prints must be mounted and must bear the title and member’s name clearly on the back of the mount in the top left hand corner.
• Mounts for all Print competitions must be a maximum of 500mm x 400mm, unless otherwise specified. Sizes other than 500 x 400mm will not be considered for external competitions.
• Mounts may be in either landscape or portrait orientation.
• A print must not overhang any edge of the mount.
• Images may be of any dimensions, not necessarily rectangular, provided that they do not exceed the size of the mount. There are no minimum size restrictions although 210mm x 125mm would be a realistic limit.
• Please bear in mind that some championships and exhibitions mandate a depth limit.

Missed Print Entry

• If a member should miss a league print round competition for a valid reason, that member may include the missed work additionally in the later print competition.
• The committee will decide if the reason for non-attendance is valid. If they agree the reason is not valid, the member will forfeit that round.
