Host a Judging Course

Host a Judging Course

Hosting a CAPA Judging course is only open to CAPA Clubs. If you are a Club considering this, thank you.

The normal class size is at least 30 people*, preferably 40 to make the course viable. Participants in our judging courses are those who want to take the first step in becoming a judge, and by those who want to improve their own photography by learning what judges look for in great photographs.

Your Photography Club (Host Club):

  • Appoints a person to work with CAPA to make arrangements to host a course and agree on a suitable date.
  • Once confirmed, the host club fills in the online form providing details of the course and CAPA creates the course and online registration.
  • Is responsible for securing and paying for a suitable room for the event, and promoting it locally, though CAPA will also promote the course as well.
  • Provides the $50 discount code and registration instructions to Host Club members.
  • Ensures the room is set up with a screen, tables, a speaker’s podium with light & 2 wireless microphones.
  • Arranges for coffee breaks for both morning and afternoon sessions.
  • Arranges for a suitable location for lunch, or if one is not available nearby, arranges for a lunch delivery or asks people to bring a lunch along. Course attendees pay for their own lunch.
  • Assigns one of your club members to help at reception and be responsible for registering people as they come in on the day of the course.
