The club uses the excellent PhotoEntry system to administer the club’s internal competitions.
The PhotoEntry website is here: https://compent.photoentry.uk/compent/
The competition handbook is here
A short video on how to use PhotoEntry is at the bottom of this page.
IMPORTANT – PLEASE READ
Entry Culling
The Competition Secretary may have to cull member’s second choice images to allow judges enough time to provide meaningful feedback on the night. Therefore if you feel one of your images in stronger than the other then please make it you first choice in PhotoEntry to avoid any disappointment.
PDI Image Size
Competition entries should be a maximum of 1920 pixels wide and a maximum of 1200 pixels high (in sRGB colour space). Please make sure your images are large enough to meet one of these dimensions exactly. i.e. your image can be 1920 wide by less than 1200 high, or can be 1200 high but less than 1920 wide.
Aspect Ratio
The club’s projector has an aspect ratio of 16:10, whereas the aspect ratio of the projection screen in the hall is 4:3. This means a full height image of 1200 pixels will only occupy two thirds the height of the screen when projected. The images below give an indication of how a full 1920×1200 image and a 1200×1200 square crop will appear.
Publication
By default the club publishes member’s images if they score 18 or over on the club’s website and newsletter, crediting the author.
If you prefer your image not to be published, then please choose “Do Not Publish” in PhotoEntry when submitting it.
You can of course have your name removed from a published image, or have an image removed altogether from the website by contacting info@croxleycameraclub.com.
All images published on the website are considered candidates for external competitions. If you do not wish your image to be considered then please ask for it to be removed.
What If I Don’t Want My Name Published by the Club?
As a member of the club, your name may be mentioned in this newsletter or on our website blog as part of a record of events.
If you wish to use a pseudonym to remain anonymous to people outside of the club then please let the Committee know and we will amend your details in Photo Entry and make a note to our editors that your real name should not be mentioned in our newsletter or blog posts.
