Entering Competitions

Submitting Images for Competitions

  • All prints and EDI1 images for our monthly competitions must be submitted no later than the competition night prior to the intended competition.
  • Prints must be dropped off to the clubroom.
  • EDI images must be submitted electronically to the competition secretary (see below). 
  • An EDI thumbnail of each print submitted, sized according to EDI requirements, must also be uploaded.
  • All EDI uploads must be submitted using the VISUAL PURSUITS https://geelongcc.visualpursuits-au.com/

1EDI means Electronic Digital Image — a digital photo entry that is uploaded and projected/judged on screen, rather than submitted as a physical print.

Prints

  • All prints must be matted for their protection using matt board available from most art suppliers and have a thin card backing. This can be something as simple as a cornflakes box. Manilla folders are ideal.
  • The total thickness of a matted print should be no more than 5 mm. This includes the backing and mount board. The use of 5mm foam core is not permitted.
  • Do not use masking tape – this may damage other prints. Use only the correct matting tape – Kraft Tape. Both are available from Cavalier Art Supplies.
  • Prints may also be mounted directly onto an adhesive backing board, but the maximum size of 16 x 20 inches (40 x 50 cm) still applies. Please note: the depth of the backing board and matt together should not exceed 3 mm

If you are not sure how to proceed with presenting your prints, just ask one of our club members, who will happily help you out.
