To all Members.

I have decided to change the waythe competition is judged for thisyear.

At the moment the rules are suchthat members have to enter 4 im-ages (2 open and 2 themed) tohave any chance of winningas all 4 scores are added togeth-er and the highest score wins.

I have decided that only 2 scoreswill be added together - the high-est open and the highest themed.
