Three panel Judging

Having three judges to assess score entries is the standard arrangement for ‘formal competitions’ which may have national or international accreditation. MyPhotoClub offers a several options to facilitate this.

Three judges in a room together view each entry (print or projected) and record the score for each entry using a USB Keypad connected to a computer. This is known as the DJS software/keypad method.
Online scoring of digital entries each entry by a judge from their home. Can be done

MyPhotoClub has a new feature called the Critique Corner. I can tell you that through the testing of this feature and personally uploading a few images I have gained substantial value from the feedback received. There will be a natural shyness by members to put forward images so please upload an image yourself to get the ball rolling.
