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 liaison to work with CAPA to confirm willingness 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 so that the Web Manager can set up the course and online registration.
• Is responsible for securing & paying for a suitable room for the event, and promoting it locally, though CAPA will also promote the date to all close area clubs.
• Distributes the $50 discount code and registration instructions to Host Club members.
• Host Club members are only eligible for one discount.
• CAPA members who are also Host Club members must use either the normal CAPA member rate or the Host Club discount code but cannot use both.
• 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 ask 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.
