Advice from Gavin Hoey April 2010
SPA INTER-CLUB PRINT
CHAMPIONSHIP 2012
will be held on Saturday May 12th at East Horsley Village Hall starting
at 2pm.
They will be employing
the same style of competition seen at the PDI event in November although the
number of images will be reduced to 16 per club on this first occasion to
ensure that they can handle the numbers within the time available.
Following the PDI event they have had a number of comments supporting the
original intention to restrict the number of nature type images. They will,
therefore, be reinstating that requirement, as well as requiring a minimum of 4
monochrome prints to ensure that the SPA has a reasonable ability to select
such images for the InterFederation print exhibition.
