Welcome to our Site
PRINT Competitions
Please, rules 1-6 as for PDI still apply. (see PDI Rules)
7. Your name (not just initials) plus the title on the top left of the back of the print/mount please.
Someone has to read the title out for the judge so make it big & legible please.
9. Mount sizes no bigger than A3 although 14.5 inches by 11.5 inches is perfectly acceptable. (There used to a bloke in Chelmsford market who has a variety of card on sale around that size and you’ll not be penalised if you go slightly under or over these sizes, though smaller ones might fall through our display rack) We’re not that prissy about meeting the sizes exactly, however other clubs/organisations might frown, and mark you down accordingly.
The colour of the mount is your choice. Again, other clubs/organisations may have other ideas.
Your image just has to be in that area, it’s up to you how much or little of that space you use, & whether it’s in the middle or not is your artistic licence.
Your print size can be no bigger than A4.
At present, the best deal on printing is the ARU print shop on the Rivermead Campus. It’s entrance is on Rectory Lane.
10. Please send a title of your intended print to the competition email address so we can make up a score sheet. Please ensure the title you send is the same title as on the mount.
There’s nowt more frustrating than trying to find an image title, in the dark, whilst the judge waxes lyrical about the image, only to find that the title has been changed to ‘Pancake Day’ and somewhere down my list is ‘Mrs. Miggings does a backflip’
Post just the titles to
Though having said that, a PDI version might be nice so we can put the winning shots up on the club site.
Please remember, ALL these rules can be adjusted to suit the competition.
We’ll let you know in advance of any quirks to apply.
