The Muller competition is for a set of 5 related digital images. Members may submit no more than 2 sets of 5 images.
For each set:
The title should be for the set as a whole, images should not have individual titles.
The image file names should start with a number 1 to 5, to indicate the order in which they should be displayed.
The competition will be judged by the Club, with each member indicating their 1st, 2nd and 3rd place sets. Based on this, points will be awarded (3 points for a 1st, 2 points for a 2nd and 1 point for a 3rd) and the set that gets the highest aggregate score will be the winner.
No image that has already won a competition of the Bradford Camera Club or Bradford Photographic Society may be entered in any subsequent Club competition.
