At the next meeting, Peter Murrowood will present some tips and inspiration for the July Competition Set Subject:
“Collage of 3 Images / Triptych”
Definition: “Create a cohesive, visually engaging collage using three distinct images that, when combined, convey a unified idea or artistic expression.”
The collage of 3 images can be arranged in any way, or even overlapping.
A triptych (pronounced “TRIP-tik) consists of a collection of three distinct photographs, often displayed side-by-side or mounted in a single frame. It is specific kind of 3-image collage, but not all 3-image collages are triptychs.
So, if you would like to know how to arrange your 3 images as a triptych, you might find the following information helpful, along with Peter’s talk on Tuesday night.

If you choose to enter a print, you can print your photos separately, and combine them together on a mat board. Your mat board can be cut with three openings, or you could stick the images on the surface of the mat board.
When you enter your print, include a photograph of your finished triptych.
