Meeting in Colts Neck, Monmouth County, New Jersey

About Our Competitions A detailed sheet of Merit Judging Rules can be obtained at the club meetings or by clicking here, Merit Judgings are held about 5 times during the club year. Only paid-up members may participate.  In addition, there is a final end-of year competition among members in which a "Slide of the Year" for each class, a “Digital Projected Image” for each class and a B/W or Color "Print of the Year" for each print division / class will be chosen. Only entries that have won an honor (medal, award or HM) during the club year are eligible for this Competition. Merit judgings are held for color slides, color prints, black-and-white prints and digitally projected images. By separating beginning, advanced and salon photographers, the contests allow members to compare their work with others at their own level of accomplishment. A major objective in the merit judgings is to receive constructive critiques from the judge. Merit judgings are held in the following Categories: Color Slides Digital Projected Images Monochrome Prints Color Prints A further subdivision into Classes is usually made in each Division:     Class "B": Beginners & Intermediate Photographers     Class "A": Advanced Photographers     Class "S":  Salon Class Merit Judging Scoring System 1 to 4 = below contest quality 5 = below average 6 = good, but not HM potential 7 = HM 8 = Award 9 = Medal
