The 2012 Championship,  is again a ‘Knock-out Competition’ very similar to the previous Slide Championship. Going back to the Knock-out Competition means we now have to exclude slide entries for this event so this year’s Championship is open to Digital Images only.
 All Digital Images for this event will be submitted by each Club in advance on CD, as a ‘Bank of Images’. This means that you do not require any equipment on the day, or to supply any images on the day.
We have summarised the requirements for this competition below –
 
The ‘Bank of Images’ will be a maximum of 40 Digital Images ; but you must submit a minimum of 20 Images to compete in the event.
Please Note – You only require 20 images to compete in this event, but the bank of 40 images is designed to allow you to select alternative images, for Round 2, Plate or Final, after you see what the judges like on the day. Any images not projected (i.e. not used) from your bank of 40, can be used in future years.
 
This ‘Bank of Images’ will be submitted in advance on CD, together with your Image Bank Titles Form, 1st Round Entry Form & Entry Fee to be with Tom Doherty by 29th Jan 2012. 
 
You require a minimum of 5 Authors to participate in this Competition.
