Each [section has more entries than i last year. Messrs F. L. Bowron (patron of the New Zealand Society), F. L. Casbolt and A. J. Anderson will judge the monochrome and colour prints, Messrs D. Hearn, Anderson, and S. F. Muff the natural history entries, and the coloured slides will be judged by Messrs Bowron, Hearn and N. S. Bowie. All the judges are from Christchurch. The entries will be prepared for judging at the Photographic Centre, Worcester street, by local members of the Christchurch Photographic Society. On April 16 to 22 the New Zealand body will hold its national convention in Christchurch. Between 500 and 600 members will attend. The first convention held 15 years ago attracted 123 persons.

The annual national convention is held alternately in the North arid South Islands. It was last held in the city in 1958.
