CAP is sponsoring a Judging Symposium on Saturday, January 14, 2012, at the Milford Center for the Arts from 10:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m.
The judging of the Connecticut InvitationalCompetition will also take place following the symposium at 2:30 p.m.
THE JUDGING SYMPOSIUM
Camera clubs depend on good judges to critique the work of their members. However, clubs are finding it harder to get good, qualified people who are willing to go out and serve as judges. Our hope is that bringing a number of interested people together to discuss the issue of camera club judging will be beneficial to all. Even less experienced photographers who are not ready to become judges will benefit from this symposium.
Paul Peterson will begin the morning with his program "Judging Photography In The Digital Age." After the program, we will break up into smaller groups and engage in free-flowing discussions in which the participants are invited to share their ideas for improving the quality and number of camera club judges in our area.
Some of the questions we hope to answer include:
* What should judges look for in judging a photograph?
* How do clubs recruit good judges?
* What makes a person qualified to be a judge?
* Is it more difficult to judge digital photography?
* What are the pet peeves that clubs have about judges and judging?
* Are there concerns that judges have about camera clubs?
* Can area clubs get an up-to-date list of camera club judges?
Any member of CAP may attend. You do not have to be a judge. There is no charge for the symposium. We hope to see you there to share ideas and learn what others are thinking.
Light refreshments will be served.
