Internal Club Competitions

Going forward, each year we will run a league where Members are asked to submit up to 4 entries in each of three categories, Colour Images one month and Monochrome Images and Projected Images on the alternate months.  The Projected Images Competition may have up to 4 images (colour or mono, in any mix, e.g 4 mono, or 3 colour and 1 mono, or 2 colour and 2 mono etc.) 

Additionally only Novice Members may submit a Colour Image that has previously entered into a monthly Competition and has been converted to Monochrome, but must inform the Competition Secretary accordingly.

The Members are divided into 3 levels of expertise and experience, Novice, Intermediate and Advanced.  On the third Tuesday of the month (normally) we invite an experienced judge from another club to discuss the images submitted, and award points out of 20 for each of the images.  

The points scored are added to a league and the winners each section are awarded Shields, medals and certificates at the end of the season.  The judges are carefully selected to ensure that they give constructive criticism, designed to help the Members improve their photographic and post processing skills.

How to submit images to Competitions

Here we will explain how you go about submitting images to the monthly competitions.

First, catch your chicken!!  Decide on what images you want to submit.  Then examine them for anything a judge will find fault with - crooked horizons, dust spots, bright or distracting parts of the image.  Use you post processing software to crop and clean up the image.  If in doubt, ask the Members for advice and help.  We don't bite!

Then when you have prepared the images for submission, make sure to re-size them to less than 2mb - see separate notes on how to do this in our Techniques page.

Upload them to the appropriate folder on the Club's Competition Google Drive - Members should have a link to these folders.  Make sure to name your images as below - Your Grade_Your Membership Number_Image title - for example I_8802_Heron in Flight means Internmediate Grade, my Membership Number, and the title of the image.  Try to use meaningful titles, not Image 1, Image 2, etc.

The Competition night is (normally) the third Tuesday of the month, so submission night is 1 week before that, so the second Tuesday of the month.  Note that because of the short month in December, the submission day is the first Tuesday of the month and the Competitons are on the second Tuesday.

Good Luck with your entries.

Colour Competition 09/21.

Here are the results of the Colour Images Competition held on Tuesday 21 September 2021.

There were 68 images in total from 18 photographers.

The competition was judged by Clodagh Tumilty, AIPF, from Dundalk Photographic Society.

Clodagh, and her husband Brendan, joined Dundalk Photographic Society in 2009, and were initially a bit overwhelmed by the high standards of the Society, and frightened by all the jargon associated with photography. However, they persevered and learned about the various aspects of photography, and Clodagh gained her LIPF distinction in 2011, and her AIPF in 2014. She is now working on images for a FIPF submission.

It's worth noting that the IPF are holding a Distinctions sitting by Zoom this coming Saturday 25 September. You need to formally apply via their website to join this session. Here's the link -https://irishphoto.ie/sept-2021-distinction-audience-attendance/

Clodagh made the point that it takes bravery, for Novices especially, to present their work for judging by a more experienced external judge but that in 99.9% of the cases, the judges comments are meant to be constructive and helpful. You should always shoot in RAW which preserves all the image information, and take an active part ion your Club's or Society's meetings, classes, outings etc. Dominic has already distributed the score sheets to the Club's WhatsApp members with scores and judges comments.
