National Audio Visual Championships
By the time that you read this page we will only be a few weeks away from the
16th Championships. If you haven't already sent off your entry and booking then
please do so ASAP, the Information Pack should tell you all you need to know
to complete the forms and post them off. If you haven't received a pack then
please contact the secretary Brian Jeffs. In these troubled days when we all
have less money in our pockets, we have made an effort to reduce the cost of
attending the event, mainly by cutting the championship down to two days and
by choosing a less expensive place to stay, but also more importantly trying to
keep the quality high and all to happen under the one roof.
You will have noticed that we have stated a projector resolution of
1400x1050px, why we have been asked? The committee thought long and hard
before making a decision to move to this increased amount of pixels, several AV
Groups have now purchased projectors of this resolution and their members are
making new sequences at 1400x1050. We have been told that no other AV
Festival has made the move; therefore someone has to be first, we are confident
others will follow. The other side of photography, the print and slide workers, now
that the slide has been replaced by the Projected Image you will notice that the
majority of events state entries to be 1400x1050. So confident are the PAGB ѡ
