AV News 179 - February 2010
So what made me interested in the RPS
and other audio visual workers outside
South Africa?
Jeff Morris organised the first audio
visual salon here and had the vision to
have remote judging, which included
overseas judges. We were now allowed to
share in the knowledge outside our
borders and it was encouraging to see
help forwarded to us through judge's
comments.
As a proud honours holder and member
of the RPS, my audio visual work is lifted
to the next level. Learning from masters is
my inspiration!
Here is an image from 'Walking dots',
one of my submissions for the LRPS.

In the summer of 2009 RPS Council decided, on the advice of the
Distinctions Advisory Board (DAB), to bring the AV Distinctions process into
line with the other Distinctions Categories. The practical implications of this
decision are that :AV Distinctions will be assessed in Bath
LRPS and ARPS assessments will take place in public, including the
Panel's discussion of the application
FRPS assessment Panel discussions will take place in private. However
the applicant is advised to attend the projection session to ensure that
his/her work is being shown correctly in all respects
The DAB will be represented on the AV Panel
