In this post, I will walk though the process of submitting entries to Club Competitions using the new PhotoEntry system.
Begin by browsing to the following address using your prefered browser (Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari etc)
https://compent.photoentry.uk/compent/
Note: There is also a link in the menu bar here on the club website.
You will first be prompted for your username (this is your email address) and password. (You should have re-set your password the first time you logged on - If you are not sure what it is, there is a Forgotten Password link that will send you a new password by email)
Click the Login button
Select the Competition Group - This is usually sorted by Season, however at present there is also a Test group for members to practice.
Here you will see all the available competitions for the season in one place.
Select the Competition that you are wanting to enter.
Here you can see the details of the competition, including the Status (Open, Closed, Judged or Future) The closing date, Your Class (Beginners, Intermediate or Advanced) How many entries are allowed and the desired dimensions for the images.
Click the Add New Entry button.
You are prompted for the Entry Title
Just enter the title of your image
Note: This doesn’t have to be the image filename - It is just how you want the image to be titled.
Then click the Add This Entry button.
Click the Choose JPEG button
A File Open dialog box will appear and you can browse to the image you wish to enter to select it and click the OK button.
Then click the Upload Image button.
Review your entry and if applicable you can click the Add New Entry button to repeat the process
Enter a Title for your next entry and click the Add This Entry button.
Click the Choose JPEG button again and browse to the file you wish to enter as your second entry.
Then click the Upload Image button
When you have added all entries, the page will say "You have reached the limit of entries in this competition"
Click the Show All My Entries button
Here you can delete the entry (with the Trash Can icon) or Edit the title (with the Pen icon)
You can also Re-Order the entries with the up/down arrows
Note: It is important to get your preferred image first because if we need to cull, then the last entry will not be used.
Once you are happy with your entry for this competition, click the link to the Competition Group at the top to return to the competitions - say to enter the Mono competition.
Once finished, you can then either click the Main Menu link to return to the list of Competition Groups or log out of the system with the Logout link in the top right
