The DSLR qualifying round of the IPF National Print & Projected Image Competition in association with Canon took place on Saturday November 16th 2013 at Palmerstown Parish Centre.
This was the biggest entry in the DSLR PPI Competition to date and we hope the growth will continue next year!
Congratulations to Michelle La Grue from Malahide Camera Club who won the DSLR regional round with ‘Can You See Me?’. You can view a list of the other placed images in each section here.
The cut off scores for each section are as below (images were scored out of 27). Images with these scores or higher will be forwarded to National Finals. A list of all accepted images is available to view here.
Projected Open & Monochrome Print Themed: 21 and above
All other sections: 20 and above
Please note: As the competition is ongoing, we are not in a position to show winning images as it wouldn’t be appropriate to identify images and photographers until judging of finals is complete.
