There will be no speaker or video comp this month, due to the time it takes to judge prints and projected stills.

As a refresher, here are the rules from our Club Competitions page:

Any current member may compete in the Intra-Club Competitions. A minimum number of 3 entrants in a category are needed to provide a competition. All entries must be exposed underwater by the entrant unless noted otherwise. The same image or portion thereof may not be entered in more than one category. Any image that has won 1st, 2nd, or 3rd Place in a previous Intra-Club competition is ineligible for re-entry in the same or another category except as part of a portfolio. Published images are ineligible. Winning images from the monthly Mini-Comp may enter the Intra-Club competition. No aquarium scenes permitted except in Creative Freestyle or in a video where they are not counted as underwater footage. Any images/videos indicating harassment of marine life will be immediately disqualified.

CATEGORIES: The 6 categories for 2005 Intra-Club Competition are as follows:
• Color Slides • Color Prints • California Slides
• Marine Related Slides • Creative Freestyle Prints • California Prints

With a sufficient number of entries, categories are divided into Novice and Open divisions. Contestants participating in the Novice category for the monthly mini-comps must enter in the Novice Intra-club categories. Contestants participating in the Open category for the monthly mini-comps must enter the Open Inter-club categories. Point accumulation for the Intra-Club competition is as follows:
