Photography Contest
The Branch 14 Photo Contest returns for its 8th season and will be held during the Ladies’ Day Luncheon, October 22, 2020.
There will be four categories again this year, but only one photo, up to 5" X 7," per category may be submitted.
Submit photos either at the September 24th meeting or can be mailed to me, to be received by Saturday, September 26th. However with the delay in starting the contest up again, all photos taken January 1st , 2019. or later will be eligible for submission.
CATEGORIES:
Architecture - A manmade structure or structures. Structures may include non-building structures.
Nature - Natural objects, landscapes, seascapes, weather phenomena, astronomical objects, wild creatures, or other scenes of the natural world not containing any manmade objects. This rule has been violated the most.
Portrait - An image or likeness of a person or persons. May be posed or candid.
Open - Any image whether or not it fits into any of the other categories. This category used to be called Other.
Photos may be post-processed with tools such as PhotoShop, or other such tools, as long as the processing is performed by the photographer submitting the photo for the contest. Having photos printed by a drugstore or other marketplace does not violate this rule. The backs of photos must include the photographer’s name and the intended category for it. A title for the picture may also be included. Camera and/or exposure data need not be included. Display orientation (top/bottom of picture), will be determined by the orientation of the information on the back. I do not wish to guess what you want the top of the photo to be. Sometimes, it is obvious - sometimes it is not, depending on the subject. All members of Branch 14 and their wives or other luncheon guests may enter the contest. Please be sure they have read the contest rules. The polls will be open before lunch is served , and all luncheon attendees may vote, including contest coordinators. The polls will be closed sometime during lunch, the votes tallied, and the results announced. 1st , 2nd , and 3rd place prizes will be awarded, as well as Best In Show (photo getting the most votes overall). Get started by setting up a folder called Branch 14 Photo Contest 2020, or something similar, then begin storing possible contest entries there.
