Exhibition evenings
 
Running Order
 
Competition nights are more punctual due to needing to get through and judge everybody’s print and digital images.
All images, print and digital, are presented anonymously so that no-one is identified while the judge critiques their work.

Print Images
 
We then take a 15 minute tea break during which time the print images can be viewed before judging. These are carefully hung and lit in a separate viewing gallery at the beginning of the evening.
The prints are then individually placed in an illumination box at the front of the room for simultaneous viewing and critique, followed by awarding the gold, silver and bronze awards.
