Judging Panel
Our internal competitions are usually judged by one of our own more experienced members, who follow an informal rota (subject to availability). Occasionally we invite an external judge to the club to provide a different opinion on our images. Our current judging panel is:
- Alex Dawson
- Bill Nairn CPAGB
- Iain Houghton
- David Fowler
- Graham Dean AFIAP CPAGB BPE1*
- Bill Senior ARPS CPAGB
Usually our competitions are judged and scored one image at a time, with those regarded as the best held back for final placing. Occasionally we run the competition in a slightly different 'knock-out' format, where images are slowly eliminated from the competition round by round. Images are scored depending on which round they reach. These competitions are either assessed by a judge from the panel (or an external judge), but in this format we can also run it based on audience feedback.
