An Inside Look at the Introduction to Photographic Judging Workshops 2024

It was fantastic to be back on the road in March with our Introduction to Photographic Judging Workshop tour, and what a week it was!
Led by Competition Executive and Judge, Terrie Jones—whose passion for photographic judging has earned her a prominent reputation within the industry over the last 21 years—the tour began in Glasgow and continued south, with stops in North Shields and Coventry.
Throughout the workshop, delegates had the opportunity to explore the 10 elements of an award-winning image, along with etiquette, elocution, and the key scoring categories and definitions. The hands-on experience came in the form of a live print judging session, where attendees could put their newfound knowledge into practice.
Terrie Jones expressed her gratitude, saying,
“I’d like to say a massive thank you to everyone who attended the Introduction to Photographic Judging workshops. It was fantastic to share my knowledge with three groups of photographers, all eager to improve their understanding of the subject.”
She continued,
“I’m confident that everyone left with a deeper insight into the judging process and a newfound appreciation for the effort judges put into assessing each image.”

The positive feedback from delegates reinforced the success of the workshops:
- “I cannot thank you enough for the wonderful experience and brilliant training in today’s workshop.” – Cristina Pascu-Tulbure
- “Thank you so much for the course today. How do I say it… EYE-OPENING! Seriously.” – Aga Tetera
The workshops have proven to be an invaluable opportunity for photographers to refine their judging skills and gain an understanding of what goes into evaluating an image at the highest level.
