Archiving thumbnails

• For reasons of archiving the club will retain a ‘thumbnail’ version of all images that have been entered in Club competitions. These images will be stored on the Camera Club Web-server. Note: This is a ‘thumbnail’ image only,  with such a low resolution that it cannot be used anywhere else.

Judges

• The judge is requested to delete the images from his or her computer after judging is complete and not to show the images to anyone other than those involved in the judging.

Exclusions

• The above shall not extend to any entries submitted to a competition not controlled by the Nelson Camera Club.
