Introductory Day for Potential New Judges
For those of you thinking of becoming WPF judges, I will be holding an introductory day at Rose Cottage St Athan to be announced at a future date. I can take up to five candidates at this session which will be quite informal so that you will feel at ease. The day is meant to be enjoyable, not a contest.
I anticipate a three to four hour session where after a short introduction you will each be given a number of prints to critique. In turn, you will be asked to give your assessment of the prints and a mark for each. A discussion will follow and you will all be able to make suggestions, or add any important points that the candidate may have missed.
If you are interested please email me at the following address with the best day for you to attend. Obviously I can’t please everyone so I will let you know the chosen day. A week day would be most suitable.
