Welcome to Battle of the Clubs sponsored by our Camera Clubs partner
Every month, UK camera clubs are allowed to enter their club’s favourite top three images based on that month’s theme. Immediately after the competition ends, the judges will go through every entry and judge each of the club’s three images on the following criteria:
Picture impact (creativity/colour/mood) – max of 5 points
Technical quality (Image/print quality) – max of 5 points
Composition – max of 5 points
So that each club’s entry can gain up to a maximum of 45 points per round. The idea being that each round a club enters, their points tally on the league table will rise. The winner of the Battle of the Clubs 2009 will be the club with the greatest points tally after the final round (announced in the January 2010 issue of Digital SLR User).
