"We usually consider, as a guideline for our selection, pictures that have already scored 13 or more in any of the SPF DPI inter club comps where a panel of 3 judges (usually from south of the border) were involved in the judging. These, after all are the pictures that have enabled us to reach the uk final at Warwick and the judges have been drawn from the same PAGB pool as used at Warwick.
We won’t have enough of these high scorers to complete our whole entry so we then consider high scorers from other SPF competitions and after that, high scorers from our Ayr PS club competitions, particularly our Annual Exhibition entries where members tend to present their best work and where the judge is usually well respected nationally.
To complete the remaining selection we just have to rely on our collective past experience and gut instinct!" Alastair Swan
