GENERAL RULES

You are hereby invited to submit a Panel of your Best Images, for MCC Internal Club Honours.

You may only apply for one Honours level at a time. Details for each Level, 1 to 5, are detailed below.

SUNBIRD HONOURS

Entries for Sunbird Honours (Level 1 for 1, 2 and 3 Stars) will open on 10 April and close on 15h April.

Entries are via Photovault, and all the normal rules of entering apply, i.e. 1920 x 1080 etc.

Submit your BEST images (all categories allowed). Colour or Mono.

No theme is required in your panel.

If you are a 1, 2 or 3 Star as at 1 April 2024, it is now a requirement to obtain your Sunbird Honours before you can be promoted to 4 Star level.

Below is an example of how it works for Sunbird Honours...

  • Submit your 6 best images. 6 Credits / Acceptances are required.
  • If for example, 2 are rejected and 4 are accepted, you get 4 credits.
  • You will have 5 days from date of results emailed to you, to submit 2 replacements.
  • If the replacement images are accepted, you will have 6 credits, and will be granted your Honours.
  • If they are rejected, you carry your 4 credits forward to the next deadline.
  • Credits will be carried forward 3 times; after that, they fall away and you will need to reapply.

If you are a 3 Star and apply with your Sunbird honours, and you are promoted while waiting for results, you are still eligible for the Sunbird Honours, as you were a Junior at the time of applying.

THIS IS THE PROCESS TO ENTER FOR YOUR SUNBIRD HONOURS

  • Choose your best 6 images.
  • Submit them into the Sunbird Honours event on Photovault, between the 10th and 15th April.
  • Results will be emailed to you on 22 April.
  • If you have any images that have not been accepted, you will have until midnight, Friday 19th April to replace them.
    You replace imnages by going to the Sunbird Honours event on Photovault, DELETING the photos that have not been accepted, and loading new images. LEAVE the images that have been accepted.
  • Finalise.
  • Your final results will be emailed to you on 27 April.
