Hiding the Competition Pointscore Table and Annual Trophy Comps
In an almost unanimous decision, the Committee has chosen to hide the Competition Pointscore Table for the remainder of this year. Members can still see their own comp results via the “View My Entries” or “View Completed Competitions” buttons, but cannot see the annual accumulated points of other members. The reason behind this decision is simply to retain the excitement and suspense in our Annual Awards Ceremony at the December celebration dinner.

Courtesy of Nikki, you can also download a PDF showing all 21 final selections. Click this link: https://caloundra.myphotoclub.com.au/wp-content/uploads/sites/95/2018/09/2018_Interclub_FinalSelections.pdf
Please note that some final selections did not receive the highest scores from our judges. That’s because our entries have to fit the Interclub rules.
