January Raw Image Challenge
It’s time to practice up on those editing skills! The raw image challenge will occur each month for 2022. To become involved simply go to the competition entry area and find the “January Raw Challenge ” Find the blue “download file” button to download the raw file to your device or computer. Now edit the file using your favourite editing program and upload the EDI before the last day of the month. Members will be able to view and score the images. You can easily see how others have edited the same image and pick a winner. This months image is of a flowering gum.

Our website is now available to accept entries in any of the digital and print competitions that our club is running next year.
As previously advised due to renovations at the Belmont 16s Sailing Club we will be holding our print competition nights at the Valentine Bowling Club, on the second Wednesday of each month. As a result entries for monthly competitions will close one week earlier. This means that our first face to face meeting will be on Wednesday 12th January at 6.30 pm for a 7.00pm start. Entries for our January competitions , digital and print, must be uploaded by 11.00pm on Sunday 9th January. So, not much time to get your entries in. Further reminders will be sent closer to the date.
