Wednesday 26th March
Competition 5 Judging Evening
New Judging Format
Introduced by Steve Sweeting
You will find the images that have been entered
using the link below please go through them
before Wednesday.
Instructions about the judging will come out
over the weekend. In the meantime enjoy and
think which appeal to you.
Greetings Everyone
Just a last minute reminder that this Wednesday the 26th we are going to be jointly scoring our own images that have been sent in for Competition 5. These images are all on our website - abbeycameraclub.com and Jim has made it really easy to access them. Even I can do it!!
As has already been outlined the idea is that we all simply choose our own individual favourite THREE images from each section of the competition.
You are simply choosing 3 images (9 in Total); they do not have to be in any order, just the pictures that appeal to you the most, for whatever reasons.
A scoresheet will be handed out on Wednesday evening but for those unable to attend but wish to take part I have attached the necessary scoresheets. Your choices will then be added to the score on the night.
I would ask you to then send your options back to me no later than Tuesday evening 25th March. If you don't want to use the scoresheet just let me know the section, and the number or title of the pictures that you have chosen and I will do the rest.
Please send your choices to my personal email address which is:- carminnowsestate@msn.com
I would ask that you all please participate in order that we give this method of appraising our photographic efforts a chance
Regards to you all
