This is my DPAGB submission in April 2023
15 prints were required and 6 assessors marked each image independently so it is not judged as a panel of work. If they think it is of exhibition standard they score 4, a near miss gets 3 and 2 if it doesn’t meet the standard. To gain the DPAGB an overall tally of 300 is required and I gained 304 so just enough to qualify. It is quite nerve racking keeping track of the scores especially when a couple of prints gained a low mark. The score is just used as a way to administer the process to see if the assessors thought the print was up to exhibition standard but I have included my scores below as it might help to see what was favoured by this set of assessors on this day.
