4 Nations Inter-Country Competition, 2020!

Click above image for the APS Catalogue

The 4 Nations competition is between the Societies of Australian Photographic Society

Our Country                 15 Images
Open Monochrome        15 Images
Open Colour                 35 Images

Every year the competition host is rotated among the four societies, this year Australia hosted. The competition was conducted using MyPhotoclub online software, a huge thank you to Colin Woods for his sponsorship of this competition. The judges all remarked upon the ease of using this software. 

Our Jury Panel was  comprised of international judges with excellent qualifications and experience in judging National and International Competitions. They are themselves current international competitors who have each achieved high international distinctions from worldwide organisations. 

The award selections were viewed and discussed by the jury panel via a zoom meeting.

• AWARDS
  1 x GOLD for each section
  3 x HONOURABLE MENTIONS for each section
  Digital Award Certificates will be emailed to the winners. 

To maintain the spirit of this competition being a TEAM event (and not an 
individual event) individual scores will not be published. 

THANK YOU to everyone who submitted images directly by email and to those who entered the 2019 APS National from which APS Member images automatically go into the running for selection. CONGRATULATIONS to you all!
