It is important to plan an application for an OPS Award or Distinction well ahead of the relevant assessment date. Sequences and panels of images of the qualities required for the various distinctions cannot be created and prepared without the expenditure of considerable time and effort.

Please check that your computer monitor is correctly calibrated. Submitted images will be viewed on equipment that is regularly calibrated and no allowance can be made for incorrect colour balance. A grey scale is included in our article on monitor calibration. Basic colour calibration can be checked using our monitor colour calibration chart.
