Viewing Competition Entries
Keith Richardson
We received the results of the recent AV competition at Ormskirk. Is there a
folio-type way of viewing some of these winning AVs? or are any of them
available to view online?
Here at the Atherton & District Amateur Photographic Society we have a few
members who like to 'dabble in AV' but, as we have no idea of the standard,

thing others are doing would be encouraging.
Thanks and regards, Keith Richardson, ADAPS Comp Secretary.
Hi Keith,
Thank you for your email enquiry. I agree that it would be a good idea to be
able to make a DVD with all the sequences that were entered – but there is a
slight problem to doing that. It would need a significant change in the competition
entry rules in that they would need to state that ‘all entries could be circulated
around the clubs and that by entering the author agrees to that condition’.
The problem is that some might not agree as they go around the clubs giving
talks in which showing their sequences is obviously a major part of that talk. I
suggest that maybe the best way for your members to proceed is to:
· Hold your own competition and get a knowledgeable judge in to comment
constructively on all the sequences.
· If the whole of the club does not want to do that – then maybe those who are
interested, send some sequences to a judge for comment.
· Book somebody to give an AV talk…and maybe also allow time for that
person to comment on your own sequences.
Enter the L&CPU competition (there really is a wide standard of entries) but
