Monthly Image Competitons:
Traditional and New Dimension.
There are three competition classes: C for beginners, B for intermediate, and Salon for advanced.
Each member may enter three images in each category. The pictures must have been taken in the
last five years. A guest judge evaluates each image for interest, composition, technical
competence, and impact, and assigns a score ranging from one to ten points. After scoring,
the judge chooses from among the top 20% of the entries, slides for Honorable Mention or
Award ribbons. In each class, cumulative scores for the season are compiled to determine
winners of the First, Second, and Third place Year End awards. Images receiving Award or
Honorable Mention ribbons may not be entered in any subsequent monthly or special assignment
competition.
Special Assignment Slide Competitions:
A special subject is chosen by the board each year to encourage members to try
different types of photography. This competition is part of the monthly competitions.
The score received in this competition is combined with the scores from the
normal monthly competitions for one total score for the year. Images must
have been taken after January 1 of the prior year. This is a great vehicle
for a member to open the creative process and explore new avenues.
Print Competitions
Members may submit up to three prints - black and white or color, standard or
digitally printed, enhanced or not - per competition. Classes B and C will
compete as a class; Salon will be a separate class. Guidelines are available.
