Competitions

The club encourages its members to participate in the competitions offered by the Club. Competitions are a wonderful way to judge your progress as compared with your peers.

The Club offers two competition opportunities to its members.

One is the Club Competition that takes place three times a year with a fourth competition consisting of the images awarded honors during the first three competitions. For the year-end completion, all members who have won honors in the first three are invited to participate.

Harold Kurzman is the Club Competition Director

DPI-SIG Club Competition Guidelines

Only members in good standing with DPI-SIG may compete

Five-year Rule: Images must be taken within five (5) years

All images must be the work of the maker.

Previous awarded Images may not be entered again.

There are two (2) competition classes:

Advanced amateurs or professionals (Class A)

Beginning amateurs (Class B)

Class “B” competitors can be advanced to Class “A” as their work improves.

There are two divisions for competition:

• Each class / division will be judged separately.
• We accept 4 images irrespective of the number which are in color and monochrome.
• There will be a single judge from outside of our club for each competition.
• If there is no judge available or if the Club chooses not to select an outside judge, then three (3) members in good standing will be selected to judge a competition and will excuse themselves from judging their own work.
