What rules / rule changes would people like to see?

How do you want competitons organised???

Why, in the 'Projected Images' competition will there be no points awarded for anything.

Last year we had a test run, so obviously no points, but surely this year there should be.

Also if there are no points then can you use the same image in another comp this year, as a slide or print.

If you can't and there are no points then most will not put their best shots in I would of thought.

What would points contribute to? Slides or Prints??

I suppose Slide would be most appropriate.

I would like to see more "Projected" competitions anyway. These would be a 3rd catagory of competition.

I would drop all the "Majors" apart from Landscape and Natural History. With the spare capacity I would add more projected competitions and more open or themed slide and print competitions.

I think this year it will still be "nil" points.

Rob.

You could have points for whatever you are entering, either slides or prints.

Why bother getting a Judge (£££££) in if it's just for fun?

Mick,

Nobody is entering Prints!! Some are entering slides and some digital files.

You can't have the digital files contributing to the print results and I reckon that the slide boys would get emotional if the digital images contributed to the slide tables.

If it was to be anything it would have to be the slide tables in my view.

Regards,

Rob.

Hi
My view is that as this is an Open Projected Images competition then points should be awarded. As slide competitions are Projected then it makes sense that the points should be awarded in the slide category.

It doesn't make sense for us to pay for a judge for this competition if it is just for fun.

We need to find a way to ensure that the Slide workers don't feel threatened by the Digital workers.

Yes you're right it's an Open !!Images!! comp not an open 'slide' comp therefore I see no reason why anyone entering the Print comp's can't enter this comp with a digital image and put any points toward the their Prints tally.

I hav'nt spoken to any slide peeps who feel threatened by digital peeps and even if they were they would be less threatened by anyone entering this comp and using it for Print points.

Also, it would be a good comp if every one and all could enter.......don't you think.

But don't we then need to get the views of print workers who will not enter this comp. They may feel this is unfair to them!!!

Yes, You're right, never thought of that.

But I'm sure they would all like to enter as it's so easy, in fact easier than trying to get a print look good.
