At the committee meeting held last night we had extensive discussions about the changes that have been implemented re: digital judging now being done live on comp night.
It was decided that as the judge no longer needs time for judging and making comments that it is no longer necessary for the judges to get access to the digital entries so far in advance.
Starting with our next competition, which is our May competition, the closing date for digital entries will be the same as the closing time for the print entries. That means all of our May entries will be due by 11:59 pm on Saturday 11th May.
This is something that a few members have been requesting.
It will then be the same for all future competitions.
Thank you to David Price for making the necessary adjustments on our website.
The judges will have access to the digitals from when the competition entries close just so that they can have a brief overview before judging on the night. This will now only be 2 days as opposed to previously 2 weeks. The reason for this is that the judge no longer needs to do the judging at home, rather they will do the judging live on the night.
We are giving them the 2 days to view them if they wish as viewing the digitals on the night isn’t as easy as viewing the prints and it could make it easier to judge on the night if they’ve been able to preview them.
We hope this change of entry date will make things a lot easier for our members who have been requesting this.
