[Leica] FOM2 judging

[Alastair Firkin <firkin@netconnect.com.au>]

Dear Friends,

The time is drawing near to judge the first year of competition in 
the FOM project. I am currently calling for more images to round off 
the year on a good note, so those of you who were considering this 
project, and who might have some suitable images, please find time to 
organize submissions. The numbers are steadily growing, and the image 
quality is excellent. Please visit the site and see the exhibition 
for yourself at familyofman2.com.

I am also now calling for help with the judging. Firstly we need some 
ideas. The original concept was to have everyone registered with the 
project able to vote on the images for that year, and I'd like to 
stick to this. I intend to create a judging board of the years 
images, in order to free up the submission boards for the 2002 
collection. As you know, the deadline for this years inclusion is the 
end of October, and we will be "selecting" the 100 best photographs 
during November, for display in December/January.

So if you are registered with the project, and are able to help 
select the images in November, could you please register your 
interest in being involved with judging with me ASAP. I intend to 
have at least 50 people judging the images and selecting about 20 
each. The most popular images will become finalists. If the variety 
does not add up to 100, then you will be asked to select a further 10 
or so till it does. Judges will not select their own work. If I 
cannot interest enough of you to do this work in November, then I may 
be forced to seek outside help from Leica or Ilford for example, both 
of whom have expressed some interest in supplying judgement, BUT THIS 
IS OUR PROJECT, and I would rather it be judged by those involved in 
the group.
