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 "Digital
Projected Image of the Year" for each division/class and
a "Print of the Year" for each print division / class
will be chosen. In additon, the annual Dankwart Koehler Award
for the best overall print will be presented. 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 monochrome projected images(digital
or slide), color projected images(digital or slide), monochrome(B&W)
prints, and color prints. By separating beginner, 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 Divisions:
Division #1: Monochrome Projected Images (Digital and Slide)
Division #2: Color Projected Images (Digital and Slide)
Division #3: Monochrome Prints
Division #4: 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
