The only competition that will not accept digital slides is the John Roberts cup

Beginners class: Only one picture to score in each competition ie the highest score received on the night will count. At the end of the year the highest total will win. If there is a tie the person with most photo's entered during the year will win. So you newbies get your camera out and start taking those photo's.
