The set theme for<br \/>this round was \u2018Film Titles\u2026\u2019 So, we reached the mid-point of the<br \/>three round marathon competition and all of the four trophies were<br \/>still very much up for grabs as our members entered images into the<br \/>competition in order to earn the points that may see them to glory!<br \/>Successful images in each round earn points, whether they were<br \/>Commended, Highly Commended, Third, Second or First. There are<br \/>four categories \u2013 the Novice Print section, Novice Projected Image<br \/>section, Advance Print section and the Advanced Projected Image<br \/>section. That means, four different champions will be declared by the<br \/>end of the Merit competition marathon.<br \/>Our judge for the evening was Paul Nickerson. Starting with the two<br \/>Print competitions in the first half of the evening, Paul gave an<br \/>overview of the entries submitted by our members. After a short tea<br \/>break, Paul then oversaw the judging of the two Projected Image<br \/>competitions.<br \/>Once again, the Dunchurch Photographic Society members offered<br \/>entries that were well thought out in terms of content, subject matter<br \/>to fit the \u2018Film Title\u2019 brief and in several cases, injected some much<br \/>welcome creative humour into the collection of entries. Very well<br \/>done to all of our members who entered the competition.<br \/>My key thanks as Chairman go to Paul for being our judge for the<br \/>evening, and to ALL of our members who entered the competition \u2013<br \/>there is no competition without YOU.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Results Are In\u2026 And As Follows \u2013<br \/>Novice Print \u2013<br \/>Highly
