URGENT – PSA Interclub
So that our club can enter the PSA Interclub competitions, I need all members who may possibly submit images for these competitions to sign an image release form that will allow PSA to show your images on the PSA website. Please download the form and email it to Roy Killen as soon as possible. I must have these forms by 1st October. If I do not have your signed form by 1st October you will not be able to participate in the Interclub competitions.
ALL club members are encouraged to start submitting entries for possible selection to represent our club in the PSA Interclub competitions. Entries can be made from the club web page where you enter monthly competitions. Entries for Round 1 must be uploaded before October 15 – but only if you have submitted a release form.
A full explanation of how the PSA Interclub competitions are organised can be downloaded here. Our club has done well in these competitions in the last few years – let’s keep it up.
If you have any questions about the PSA Interclub competitions please email Roy Killen

2021 Image of the Year Competition (IOTY) now open for entries
Club members can now enter their IOTY entries on the club website. Entries close at 10.00pm on Sunday 17th October.
The IOTY competition is run for B Grade, A Grade and Advanced in Open Colour, Mono and Nature. Entries to the IOTY competition must have been entered in one of the club digital competitions earlier in the year to qualify for entry. Images that were entered in the September Portfolio competition qualify as digital entries. To enter, go to the usual page for entering club competitions, click on the green “2021 Image of the Year” button and then use the “Select from existing uploaded images” button to locate and enter your images. This will ensure that the images you enter in IOTY are exactly the same as the images that you entered in monthly competitions this year. Members can enter up to four (4) images in each competition.
As per one of my previous posts if you wish to enter an image that you entered in a Print competition earlier in the year then this image must be entered in a digital competition to qualify. If you have not already done this then please enter in one of the October digital competitions.
In the same way as we did last year judging for each competition will be carried out by a panel of three judges who will score the images and achieve a 1st to 10th placing in each competition. The results will be announced on Wednesday 17th November via a ZOOM meeting. The overall IOTY is selected by members voting on the first placed image in each individual IOTY competition. This voting will occur on the club website later in November.
Members whose images receive a 1st to 10th placings can download a digital certificate of their placing from the website. Regrettably there will again be no Christmas/Awards Night this year.
