PSA INTERCLUB – COLOUR RESULTS
In Round 3 of the Colour section of the PSA Interclub we came FIRST out of 25 clubs in Group B.
In Round 3, Dennis Archibald and Greg Caruthers gained Merit Awards, Alan Hinde and Roy Killen gained Honourable Mention awards.
We gained sufficient points to place us FIRST overall after the three rounds of the competition – two points ahead of our friendly rival, Wangi Workers Camera Club! This result will mean that for the 2023-24 season we will be promoted to Group A.
Thanks to all the club members who entered images for possible selection in all Rounds and congratulations to all those who had images selected to represent our club. Special congratulations to those who received awards.
Results for the other sections of the Interclub competition will be posted as soon as they are available.

Last year we came sixth!
All members, irrespective of grade, are requested to submit two images for consideration to be selected as part of our entry of 20 images (two images per member can be put forward).
The theme for this years competition is “This is Australia – Any image that shows a flavour of life in Australia including landscapes, people, iconic events and iconic places including architecture, birds and animals. Images may be taken in any of Australia’s territories.”
Entries close Sunday 14thMay.
The easiest way to submit an image is to select a previously uploaded image that has done well in our competitions.
To do this:
- Go to the entry form APS Australian Cup 2023 preselection
- Use the green Select From Existing Uploaded Images button
- Open the Result filter, clear the filter, then check your highest awards
- Review the images as a slideshow and then select the chosen image for entry. This returns you to the entry form and populates the entry.
- Repeat for your second submission.
Please do not enter previously submitted images, whether they were a part of our, or another club’s entry. Also, you can only submit entries as part of one club.
