Reminder – MPS Competition November
Hi All
The next competition night is Tuesday 9th February 2021.
A total of up to three images may be submitted each month. The entered images may be all set subject, all open subject, or a combination of both. They may be all digital, all print, or a combination of both.
The close off date for registration of digital and print images is midnight Sunday 31st January 2021.
It would be appreciated if entrants ensure their entries are formatted correctly and registered by the close off date.
N.B. LATE ENTRIES WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED.
The set subject for February is Landscape and the judge is Terry Cockfield.
It is important to realise that every photographer may interpret each subject quite differently to the next person. The definition below is therefore brief and is only to be used as a guideline……
MPS Club Definition: Landscape“While a prominent feature of the image should be a landform, this definition does include where the land meets the sea /ocean or lake. Images can therefore show some representation of both land and water. It does not include Cityscapes.”

Use of Members’ Images
Entering an image (print or digital) into a MPS competition or into an external competition via MPS grants the club permission to publicly display that image at MPS meetings for the purposes of competition and recognising good work.
MPS wants to display those images which are awarded Honours and Highly Commended on the MPS website and in the club’s newsletter. Submitting a digital competition entry or a digital version of a print entry to MPS grants the club permission to display that image on the MPS website and in the club’s newsletter unless the member opts out by including “COMPETITION USE ONLY” in the body of the email that submits the image.
Any other use of a member’s image will only occur with the prior permission of the author, e.g. club representation in external competitions.
Images will remain the property of their author at all times and the author will be acknowledged on the MPS website and in the club’s newsletter if his or her images appear in those publications.
