L&CPU ANNUAL CLUB COMPETITION 2020
Summary
The main LCPU Club Competition of the year, held at Culcheth Community Campus, Warrington Road Culcheth Warrington WA3 5HH on 7th and 8th March.
Format
3 print sections - Open, Mono, and Nature. 8 images entered in each.
2 pdi sections - Open (combined colour and mono) - 16 images and Nature - 8 images.
Each section has to have images from at least 5 separate photographers, no more than 2 from each person (4 in Open pdi).
Three judges, each of whom score the image from 2-5.
Consequently 12 is a score to be really proud of and anything above is brilliant.
Our images
Results
PDIs - 37 clubs entered
Prints - 22 clubs entered
Overall a good effort which shows the strength in depth at the Club. We entered a full number of images in all the sections which most of our fellow clubs didn’t manage. We did particularly well in the Pdi’s and a considerable number of our entries met the CPAGB standard (ie scored 12 or more).
Well done to all who represented us. Particular thanks to those who went out of their way to let me have images for the nature print section, without which we would have failed to make a complete entry.
Anyone wishing to know more, let me know.
