This Thursday is another members’ evening where we will be holding a knock-out print competition, but we are the judges. Bring up to two mounted prints from your archive or something new – one colour, one mono.
We will mix the Group A and Group B prints together for each category (colour and mono) and randomly choose 2 images to go head-to-head in a series of knock out rounds. We will vote with our hands and the winner goes on to the next round each time, until there is an ultimate winner!
Submissions are due tonight for the “Looking Up Or Down” Print Competition.
New members are always welcome and can attend a couple of meetings for free to get a taste of what we do. We meet at St Thomas’s church hall at 7:30pm.
