Hear, hear. Ridiculous, actually.
I am a member of a club, the only person using wet imaging. I show, via the club, in local exhibitions, but I no longer enter leagues or competitions because the judges are so inept. I take a lot of trouble over my prints, but is considered rude to interrupt the judging. At the suggestion of a fellow member I put the word 'Bromide' in the title. It is usually ignored. One judge joked that it was something the army put in soldiers' tea.
Incidentally we have now introduced a voting form wherein we give the judges mark out of twenty. If we don't like him, he won't come back...
But don't be put off by my rant - I have met really interesting folk, even though they cheat with their computerised cameras!
