Qld Interclub
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
********************************************************************

From 2021 the Redlands Camera Club has paused indefinitely our participation
in the
Qld Interclub Competition.
We will instead be competing in the PSA Interclub Competition.

*********************************************************************

 
Qld Interclub Competition

The Interclub competition is between Qld camera clubs, each club is invited to
submit up to 3 images within each of the 7 prescribed categories - 21 images in all.

All images will be shown and judged by a panel of 3-4 judges. The top images within each category will be awarded 1st, 2nd, 3rd and Merits/HC's as decided by the host club.
From the 7 first places images, a 'Champion' image will be selected. Finally, the scores from each image will be tallied to find the winning club.

Individually awarded images do not have any bearing on the members standing
within their home club (Doesn't count toward club points or APS honours).

Attend the Interclub Judging
All Club members are encouraged and invited to attend the judging, it's a wonderful opportunity to see other clubs works of art and a great time to catch up with old friends, and make new ones!
