Bowl, Miss, Catch - Congratulations to Richard Ban for winning our inaugural Triptych competition in 2023
All the entries can be viewed here
What are YOU going to enter this year?
Triptych Final is on June 6th 2024
Rules for the Triptych Competition:
An entry shall consist of 3 mounted prints, or 3 images contained within 1 mounted print.
The images should all be to a theme of the author's choice, but should try to have a narrative, for example rather than 3 images of flowers, 3 images showing the growth stages of one flower.
Prints should be at least A4 in size, and mounted on a 50cm by 40 cm mount. The rear of the mount should be marked in block capitals with the author's name, a title the set as a single entry, and in the case of 3 mounts being used left, middle and right to indicate how they should be displayed when judged.
A dpi version of an entry should be sent to Kevin by a date to be announced, and the file name should contain the mounting information as well as the entry title, in order that the judge can preview the entry.
The overall entry should have a title by which it will be known, if however you feel that it would help a judge better understand your entry, individual titles could be added to front of the prints. For example, the overall title could be "The Growth of a Flower", No 1 print could be "Spring", No 2 print could be "Summer" and No 3 could be "Autumn".
