Competition
- Open competition i.e. no editing rules and any genre is ok.
- Knockout over several rounds, the number of which is decided on the night depending on how ruthless the judge is. Images are eliminated at each stage.
- Clubs submit 8 images with the last one being a tiebreaker. The number actually used varies depending on the volume of clubs and we don’t know until the night.
- Images eliminated in R1 score 1, R2 score 2 and so on. A winner was selected from the final round and that image alone gets the top score.
- New work only from current club members, ie no previous entry to any LCPU competition.
- The first 4 images for each Club have to be from different photographers and no more than 2 images from anyone in total.
Preston Photographic Societies Images
- Our 8 images were drawn from the Selection Bank
- Images from 8 different members were entered, of which 4 got used on the night.
- Images from Dave Bennion, Mick Porter, Robert Turley, and Iain Jack got used.
- Images from Paul Yates, Louise Ollerton, Karen Browne and Lee Inskip-Clark didn’t get used.
Results
- 4 images from each club were judged making 152 in total.
- We lost ‘The Last smoke’ in R1, ‘Drumming in the dark’ and ‘Lincoln Cathedral’ in R2 and ‘Trapped’ in R3.
Consequently we scored 8 i.e (1 + 4 (2 x 2) + 3).
Our best scoring image was therefore Robert Turley with Trapped.
As no-one from the Club was present, I am not sure how many rounds there were.
A slide show of all the images (ie 4 per club) should become available on the LCPU website.
