Internal Projected Digital Image (PDI) Competitions

Images must be submitted directly to the P.D.I. Secretary by no later than the Thursday prior to the date of the competition for inclusion. Please do not use file sharing services to send your files. Providing your image has been received by the PDI Secretary in time, you should receive a confirmation of receipt once it has been processed.

If your submission has not been received by the PDI Secretary by this date it may result in your image not being included in competition and your gallery may not be updated.

It is imperative that images entered for internal competitions are submitted in the correct format otherwise they may be rejected at submission stage.

If you are in any doubt about how to prepare images for these competitions please carefully study the instructions below.

• Members in the Intermediate Section. - May enter a maximum of two images per competition in rounds 1-4, with only one image permitted in the fifth and final round.
   
  Members in the Advanced Section. - May enter one image per competition in rounds 1-4, with two images permitted in the fifth and final round.

Exceptions

The Essex Challenge Trophy (Images must have been photographed in Essex) where each member whether Advanced or Intermediate can submit two images. Submit as you would for all other PDI competitions.

Image of the Year Competition - where each member whether Advanced or Intermediate can submit two images. Submit as you would for all other PDI competitions.

The current rules state for the IOY competition that a maximum combined total of two images is allowed for PDI and prints. Therefore usually a choice has to be made  “either 2 PDI’s, 2 prints or 1 of each”. Given that we clearly won’t be having a 2019-20 IOY in prints, there will undoubtedly be some who usually would prefer to submit prints but due to the obvious, may, this year wish to submit a previously seen print as a PDI.
