List of Judges – The Welsh Photographic Federation
Amendments, deletions or additions to all judges’ information should be notified to: Judges and Presenters Secretary. Email: judgepresent@thewpf.co.uk
I know there are quite a few paragraphs below to be read, but PLEASE take a little time to read them ALL, as the information is important and will help you to understand the system.
A Standard Booking Form giving details of the judging event can be found here. Please use it as it has all the relevant information on it. Remember it may be many months before the event takes place so a record of the agreement is invaluable. See also Judges Guidelines and The Role of the Club.
Judges: If you have any high praise or complaints about the way you have been treated by any club, or have any useful suggestions on how clubs could make your evening with them more pleasurable, please email me at the WPF at the address above.
Judge Codes: You will see codes which give the judge’s preferences. This is only a guide. Most judges will cover any topic. Please would judges email me if they would like any of the codes altered.
LIST OF WPF APPROVED JUDGES
PLEASE CLUBS: introduce the judge properly and try and take 5 minutes at the most for notices on nights when you have invited a judge or speaker. I have had quite a few complaints about laborious starts to meetings with notices taking over 15 minutes. This is not fair on the judge/speaker, who should have timed his/her evening to your start and finish times.
# = A judge who is not a member of a WPF Camera Club.
