PAGB Competition, Towy Valley CC, International Exhibitions

1. NEW! PAGB Inter Club Digital Image Competition – THE GREAT BRITISH CUP

This competition is open to all Member Clubs of Federations Affiliated to the PAGB, each Club must submit 20 images on a CD – not by Email. There will be two Cups one for "Large" Clubs and one for "Small" Clubs; they can enter either section – but only one! The decision is for them to make based on the fact that Large Clubs will need a minimum of 8 photographers with no more than 3 images per worker and Small Clubs will need a minimum of 5 workers with no more than 5 per worker.

Entry will be £10 with a closing date of 2nd February 2008 forms are available at the PAGB Website: - http://www.pagb-photography-uk.co.uk/

This will be a competition that can be entered by any WPF Club and it would be great to see some of them do well – it will be judged by 3 PAGB Judges using 2-5 buttons it is not intended at this time to make this a public event.

3. Two Further International Exhibitions

A. 7th Loka International Colour Salon (LIGHT) 2007 in Slovenia

Organized by : Photo Club Anton Azbe – Slovenia

(With FIAP & PSA patronage)

Every participant gets a diploma and the catalogue of the salon

Closing date for entries submission: 20th November 2007

We did not want to guide people on the theme "Light" since we want to receive very good and heterogeneous entries. Entries can represent physical concept of light or the light in its symbolic meaning – positive moments in everyday life and human environment. All artists, who can transform imagination into an artistic message, can count on successful participation at our Loka Salon 2007.
