A critique is where club members are able to submit images to have them appraised (by a professional or knowledgable club member). This is not a competition as work is not compared to other entrants but is evaluated on its own merits. These are extremely popular events at the club and we usually have a lot of submissions with a diverse range of content.

To view previous submissions for critiques, look at our archives.

• Submissions can be Digital Images or Prints
• You are only able to submit one entry per critique event, but this can be a single image, a panel or a sequence
• You can submit an entry at one of 2 levels, Novice or Experienced.
• Appraisal is performed by a professional.
• The appraisal is given in a constructive manner to help you with your photography.
• At the end of the appraisal, images are awarded Gold, Silver, Bronze or Credit.
• The name of the photographer is withheld from the appraiser and the audience, until the appraisal is complete.

Guide to Appraisal Levels

• Novice – A member who is new to photography, or who is uncomfortable with criticism in general and/or the genre being appraised. Appraisal style will be soft and gentle.
• Experienced – a photographer that is comfortable with constructive critique and the genre presented.
