Statement of Entry fees – for club use
There will be a basic entry fee of £5. This will enable members to enter a minimum of 4 images. Each extra submission will cost £1. This means that, should you wish to enter the maximum number of entries (12) the cost will now be £13.
- Where work has been accepted in one format in a previous year, it cannot be re-entered in another year in another format. This will result in disqualification.
- Awards are to be amended as follows:
The cup for Best Architectural print will not be awarded as entries for this category are low. This will be reviewed in subsequent years.
There will be a new award for best People picture in both prints and DPIs. (These can be candid or formal pictures)
There will also be a new award for Best Mono DPI.
- PRINT MOUNT SIZE – print mounts must now be the new standard of 50cm x 40cm. This is slightly smaller than the old standard of 20in x 16in. which will no longer be acceptable.
Brian Coleman, Welsh Salon Chairman
