Admission £2 Message to Competition Secretaries - Jan Cawley has also sent us the following: On behalf of the Welsh Photographic Federation I would like to enter the FIAP Biennial next month and would therefore like you all to send me some images. The subject matter is an open one but in order to achieve coherence I have to have some basic theme to work on. Please therefore send me a wide range of images to help me sort out an entry.
Images need to be 72dpi, (JPG 10) 2400 pixels on the largest side. I must have them by March 25th. In 2011 we came joint 4th with Scotland. It would be nice to try to better this in 2013. Please would all secretaries inform their members of this as soon as possible. Send a disc of your very best images to Jan Cawley or email one or two at a time. email janzmail1@btinternet.com Jan has since added that she is particularly looking for PORTRAITS and LANDSCAPES.
