PAGB Online Advisory Workshop

Would you like to participate in an Online Workshop with your PDI and Prints being assessed and discussed by a group of PAGB Adjudicators?

We already have lots of interest and hope to run this through September. You will need to upload your image files to our Central Management System (CMS) and post prints to us, probably by the end of August. Watch for a more detailed timetable soon.

Although we haven’t yet fixed dates but you would like us to look at your work, please provide your name, e-mail and answers to the following questions. Please e-mail to awards@thepagb.org.uk as soon as you can so that we can properly plan the events.

If you are registered with us, you will be contacted by e-mail with the details as soon as they are fixed and you will be given priority if there are more applications than we can handle immediately.

  1. What level are you interested in? (BPAGB CPAGB DPAGB EPAGB or MPAGB).
  2. Do you hope to apply for Adjudication in 2025 or 2026?
  3. If you are intending to apply soon, do you want a full potential entry reviewed or do you want to submit just a few images to determine which level you might be capable of?
  4. Will you wish to be advised on a potential PDI or a Print entry?
  5. Are you prepared to pay £10 to be advised or £5 to observe?

Please note that this does not affect our Online Mentoring Service and the PAGB Awards team will continue to support Federation Workshops when they are invited.
