Images are scored by a panel of three judges selected by the competition committee from a pool of judges approved by the Photo Section Executive Board
If a judge has an image in the competition he or she will vote zero and the score assigned will be the average of the other two scores multiplied by three
Judges will not know which images are Group A or Group B since the images will be intermixed when shown
Judges will know which print images are color and which are non-color because they will be shown separately
After a print image is scored, the score, the image title and the maker’s name are announced by the competition committee
After a projected digital image is scored, the score, the image title, and the maker’s name are projected on the screen for the members to view
After the judging and while the competition committee determines the awardees, comments on selected images are made by a critique leader, judges, club members, and the image maker as part of a learning process
