The principle used on a selection evening, is to choose the images which, in the opinion of the selectors, are likely to produce a maximum overall score for the club in the competition concerned. This currently means that around 100 images are checked and rechecked for this purpose. Whilst we always attempt to increase the number of our members included in the entry, it is the picture that counts, not the author. In total, we have entered images from 15 members during last season. Five members of our Club regularly receive high awards in external competitions and it is not surprising that their images are regularly chosen to represent the Club.
Images for inclusion in the selection process for external competitions, are invited from all members. Digitally projected Images entered in previous internal competitions are already included in the Club Image Bank, but any member may augment their content by e-mailing their submissions to sah2
talktalk.net in the standard 1400x1050 jpg format. Digital versions of successful prints, suitably adjusted for projection, are particularly welcome.
For some Exhibitions and Exchanges it may be more appropriate for the selection committee to choose work from a wider range of members.

Whilst all the above appears to focus on the highest expertise in the club, it should not detract from the primary wish of the club to help support the enjoyment of all members, including those who wish to continue to pursue their photographic experiences without the need to measure up in the competitive arena.
