NCPF Annuals Competition 2020 Results We are pleased to announce that the results of the 2020 NCPF Annuals Competition are now available for publication. General All Print sections of this year’s competition were sadly cancelled due to the Covid 19 Pandemic. The PDI sections went ahead & were judGed remotely. (many thanks for the co- operation of all the judges / selectors involved) For the purposes of transparency an outline of how this process was conducted is outlined below. Members from 32 NCPF clubs entered work into this year’s Myles Audas PDI competition, there were a total of 885 imaGes submitted into the open section & 103 into the Jane Black Trophy for beGinners. 27 clubs competed for the Myles Audas Memorial Trophy. Alliance Entry Whilst judGinG of the competition was underway the PAGB gave notification that all PAGB inter-federation competitions for 2020 were to be cancelled, again due to Covid 19. It was decided however that selection of the Alliance entry would still proceed to enable the production of the Alliance & Portfolio presentations the NCPF make available each year. It was also felt that authors who had produced work deemed suitable for selection as an Alliance entry should receive recoGnition for the hiGh standard achieved. Awards & Alliance / Portfolio Presentations Due to the cancellation of the print sections far fewer images are available to incorporate into the presentations this year, it was therefore decided that all imaGes from Awards / Alliance & Portfolio should be used to produce one inclusive presentation instead of the usual 2 presentations which normally consist of 1 Awards & Alliance presentation and 1 Selectors Choice Portfolio presentation. This beinG the case it was decided that the presentation should be offered as a free We- Transfer download to all NCPF Clubs. The presentation will still be available for postinG in a CD or memory card format but this will incur costs. Further details re distribution will be made available in due course. Judging / Selection Initial Marking & TropHy Winners To ensure fairness all imaGes both open & beGinners were stripped of all info re club/author and re-named with an allocated number i.e. 001 – 885 in the case of the open section. These imaGe numbers together with title info were the sole means of identification available to judGes / selectors at every staGe of the process. The numbered imaGes together with a matchinG score sheet were sent via we-transfer to each of the 3 judGes who were asked to mark the imaGes as if using a scoring machine i.e. allocate marks in the ranGe 2 - 5. On return of the score sheets all marks were totalled GivinG a final score for each imaGe in the 6 - 15 ranGe as would normally be the case. ImaGes scorinG 13 (13 being the mark achieving a HC) & above were returned to the judGes for consideration re selection of trophy winners. Final selection of trophy winninG imaGes was debated & agreed by all 3 judges using online video conferencing. Alliance Selection ImaGes scorinG 12 & above were submitted for consideration to the 3 selectors, who by use of a votinG system whittled the imaGes down to a short list. ImaGes from the short list were then debated throuGh the use of online video conferencinG & final selections made. Portfolio Selection The 3 selectors were each sent 1/3 of all imaGes other than those achievinG an Award or Alliance selection from which they made their selections. In Conclusion Thankfully we have manaGed to provide a partial competition this year, decisions have had to be made at short notice & methods employed re judGinG the competition devised on the fly, however the desired results have been achieved. That having been said, I like the rest of the Events Sub Committee hope fervently for a resumption of normal service next year.
