There are a minimum of two Adjudication sessions each year - in April and November with the closing date for applications being 31st January and 31st August respectfully. Preceding (by 2 months) there is an Advisory Day (eg 1st Sept 2019), where applicants' images are viewed and advised on their likely scores by PAGB experts. It is advised that 20 images be prepared for an Advisory Day - 10 first choice and 10 reserves. Note: Participants need to have been a club member for 2 years at the time of application for an award.
Credit (CPAGB) Standard: Equivalent to Highly Commended in Club Competition Submit: 10 Images
Total score must be 200 or more, 6 judges voting YES, NO, or NEAR MISS. PAGB scoring is stated to be as follows: VOTE “YES”. Should do well in the good Average Club in domestic competitions or in Inter-Club
VOTE “NO”. In the opinion of our Adjudicators, not up to the required standard. May have some merit but does not meet the criteria for a pass. No better than average club photography. This merits a vote of NO which is recorded as 2. VOTE “NEAR MISS”. Only used when the Adjudicator is not quite sure or where the photograph has just missed the standard - only very close misses would be marked as 3. Remember that FOUR Adjudicators voting NEAR MISS and TWO Adjudicators voting YES is recorded as a passing score
VOTE “NEXT LEVEL”. Well above the standard required. Likely, but not of course guaranteed to score 4 at the DPAGB level. This merits the best vote possible indicating that the photograph will be satisfactory at the NEXT LEVEL and that the Adjudicator would vote Yes at the DPAGB level. This is recorded as 5.
Some examples of images from successful CPAGB submissions, shown with their scores and titles where known. Please note that the quality of these images has been reduced to save space for this online presentation - the original images will have been of better quality. Note that the score to pass at Credit level needs to be 200 points from a submission of 10 images – an average of 20 points each image. Some images may score under 20 points, some over 20 points. To pass you need a total of at least 200 points from 10 submitted images.
