Wellington Interclub Print Battle
Tuesday, 12 August, Presbyterian Church Hall, Ngaio St, Waikanae, 7.30pm
This is the annual print competition between the five Greater Wellington photographic clubs, hosted this year by the Kapiti Coast Photographic Society (previously the Waikanae Camera Club).
Each club enters a print for each of the set subjects and the judge places them in order from first to fifth, with points awarded accordingly. The WPS entries will have been chosen at the July meetings.
At the end of the evening, the club with the most points (or the fewest, depending on the points system being used) is declared the winner.
