Vacancies are still available for the 2 day Judges Course.

Bill Chambers and Roy Killen have put a lot of effort into designing this course.  The course costs $20 for Belmont 16s Photography Club members and $40 for non-members.  It includes morning teas for both days.

Previous participants have benefitted from completing the course, in their own photography skills, analysis of images and knowledge of international definitions.
