DIGITAL IMAGE DISPLAY & RETENTION POLICY (as of Aug 17, 2007)
All members submitting images (print or digital) to PACC competitions do so with the understanding that in the event these images receive awards, the members are granting permission to the club to display small versions of the images (currently no greater than 250 pixels high) on the club's website. Digital images submitted by club members for club competition and/or display on the club website will not be shared with others, except for affiliated clubs such as MPPA (Midpeninsula Photographic Alliance), and they will not be used by the club for any other purpose without written permission of the maker. The full policy is available as a PDF file here. It includes information about opting out of this policy. |

JUDGES |
Judges are volunteers who are usually experienced amateur (or occasionally professional) photographers and are generally members of other camera clubs in the Bay Area. They are familiar with the rules for entries, (most) undergo training as judges thru N4C, and they do their best to provide an informative and constructive assessment of the pros and cons of each entry. Like all of us, their assessments are to a certain extent subjective, and this may explain why good entries that meet all the rules may receive different assessments and awards. Some judges are more adept at discussing the artistic merits and weaknesses of an image than others, while others are fussy about seemingly minor technical 'flaws'. This is a fact of life we must accept. We are very fortunate that these individuals take the time to travel here, often from a great distance, to spend an evening at the club to help us all improve our photographic skills and images. | ||
