We have one external judge whom we pay for their services and rotate judges over the year. In theory you could get to learn what each judge favours and submit work accordingly but I'm not sure anyone actually does that, I certainly can't remember them from one year to the next.
I prefer to submit 4 different types of photo so that if they don't like one particular genre they might like the others rather than hope they like sports for instance and submit 4 sports shots.
I've managed to win all 3 silver cups this year (colour print, mono print and digital image) so I must be doing something right, but one judge gave me the second and 5th lowest scores of the comp (out of about 50 shots) and I didn't get in the top 10 for the first time in 12 comps throughout the year, I like to think he was just a rubbish judge!
