On Saturday 18th June we will be holding our next sitting of the distinctions panel and then having a workshop for members in the afternoon, these will be free for any member who wishes to attend.
The venue for this is in Bristol and is fully accessible with free parking. There is tea and coffee available but you will need to bring your own lunch.
During the morning session the assessment panel will assess submitted panels of images for their eligibility to be awarded a distinction. During this time members are permitted to observe only and may not make any comment or try to influence the assessors in any way. That will be strictly enforced.
This is a good way of learning what the panel of assessors look for in a successful aplication and understanding why some will fail and some will pass.
An even better way to learn is to bring along some of your images and to take part in the afternoon workshop. Some of the assessors will stay behind to give advice at the workshop and help to those who want it. They won’t complete your work for you, but they will advise you how best to proceed to gain that distinction.
If any member wishes to attend either or both free sessions then please email me at chairman@the-dps.co.uk to book a place, places are limited so priority will be given to any member submitting a panel for a distinction.
I will then send full details of the venue and times to those who have a reserved place.
