PHPC MyPhotoClub Instruction – Viewing Completed Competitions

Some members have been making comments on and discussing the photos which is great.  Please do keep the discussion respectful to both members and the judges.

We have improved with respect to meeting deadlines with just a couple of people needing assistance to post their entries.  If you do need assistance then please email competition@phpc.org.au with sufficient time before the deadline to allow help to be given.

Here again are some points for entrants that will ease your task of using the MyPhotoClub systems and also make it easier for judging and scoring:

  1. Leave yourself plenty of time by entering well before the deadline. Some people did leave it till the last minute.  Things do go wrong from time to time (e.g. Internet down, printer not working, forgotten passwords etc), but leaving it till the very last minute makes it difficult for us to help you and you may miss out on entering the competition. All remaining competitions for the rest of the year are open to entries,so why not start adding entries early to avoid the last-minute rush?
  2. Entrants must print and attach the system-generated labels to their prints.  The labels provide the information we need to identify the entries and the entrants during the competition.  We will toughen our response to non-compliance and so we need your cooperation to avoid any unfortunate incidents of disqualification.  Do print your labels when you enter your images on the system.  Label printing is available on the entry page immediately after initial submission.  The button is at the bottom of the entry form.  You cannot print them after the competition closes.  It is best to print them on an A4 sheet with the print size set to 50%, cut them out, and glue or stick them to the back of the print with double-sided tape.
  3. Please make sure you enter the correct competition category. We had about 10 entries that were entered in the incorrect Open/Set category.  Correcting these errors consumes a lot of time and we’d rather not have to do it.  Most competitions from now are both open and set. You can check and alter your entries anytime before deadline. It is wise to go back and verify your entry as being what you intended. Remember Open awards are worth fewer points than Set awards, so the little bit of effort to check may make a difference in your competition results.

Congratulations everyone again on a successful competition.  Enjoy browsing the entries.
