Editorial interest 78/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A modular platform for photography clubs, combining membership administration, competitions, judging nights, season leagues, and a public website.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-05 issue.

Field notes

Senatus divides club administration, competition management, and public presentation into three connected modules. Its Arena workflow checks uploaded entries for size, sRGB, and limits, then supports anonymised judging, phone-based scoring, and browser projection through Live Run. The homepage shows a sample competition with 78 entries and an author-hidden 9.5 score. The project says it is opening to founding clubs soon, so availability of the described modules may still be limited.
