Judge the Judge!

In order to maintain the quality of judging throughout the YPU, your Executive needs feedback.  Have you had a new judge that did well? New judges on the supplementary list need two good reports to move on. Was your last Judge too severe? or just plain bad?

We will never know if you don't tell us!

And now you and email the forms, download the forms to your computer here Downloads

Through the Photographic Alliance of Great Britain the benefits of a wide variety of lectures are available.      

In addition the YPU organise day and weekend seminars on a wide variety of photographic topics.
