A Course for Potential Judges

The New South Wales Federation of Camera Clubs (FCC), in partnership with Bill Chambers & Roy Killen, will be holding a Photographic Judges’ Course in Newcastle on Saturday 30 September and Sunday 1 October, 2023. 

This is an opportunity for club members who would like to become involved in judging club competitions to develop their skills in image evaluation and critique. Developing your skills as a judge is a great way to improve your own photography.

If you would like to attend the course, please email Bill Chambers at Ambodiver@gmail.com or Roy Killen at roykillen@gmail.com.  Places in the course are very limited so please register your interest as soon as possible.

The cost of the course and other details will be finalised soon and sent to all those who express interest in participating.
