The Craig Phillips Memorial Trophy in Black & White
When: Entries close at midnight on Sunday, 15 February 2026.
Judge’s feedback and assessments will be presented on Wednesday, 8April 2026. The judge is Troy Baker.
Description:
This year’s first competition which will be a Black & White Projected Image competition is now open for submissions. Entries must be submitted by Sunday 15th February 2026 (midnight) to be considered. A maximum of 3 entries per member is permitted. There is only one (content) category for all entries: OPEN.
The filename for each image should conform to the following format:
[competition:2026 Proj Image #1]; [category:OPEN]; [full name of submitter]; [image title]; [#order]
e.g. “2026 Proj Image #1; OPEN; Joseph Bloggs; Fantasy Island; #3 {or Untitled #1, Untitled #2, etc. (if you prefer not to give your image a specific title)}”
NOTE: Label your digital image, #1, #2, #3 in order of the digital images you wish to be judged. The reason is that judges have a lot of work to do with all of the clubs and are getting selective about the number of images they are prepared to comment on and judge. If there are too many digital images JCC will drop the #3 image.
Only JPG/JPEG files can be accepted. Image files must not exceed 3MB in size. Images must have a maximum of 3840 pixels on the horizontal side and a maximum of 2160 pixels on the vertical side which is the new PSNZ standard. Images can be cropped to any size within these limits.
Images submitted should not be substantially the same as any image which has previously been entered into a JCC (or formerly APPS) internal competition and which achieved any level of recognition beyond ‘Entry acknowledgement’ in that competition.
No entry fee for financial members.
Non-members are also invited to submit images for assessment and constructive feedback, but a submission fee of $3 per image will apply for non-members.
Each image will be assessed by the judge and assigned one of these 5 classifications: Gold award, Silver award, Bronze award, Acceptance level, or Entry acknowledgement. These awards translate into points accrued for the club’s (aggregate) ladder competition, where Gold = 5 points, Silver = 4 points, Bronze = 3 points, Acceptance = 2 points, and Entry = 1 point.
Non-members are not eligible for the club’s ladder competition. Non-financial members become eligible for such points, counting towards the ladder competition, if they have paid their 2026 membership subscription by the closing date of the competition.
