Monthly photographic competitions are held at most Division meetings. Each member may enter two images per Division, per month. All images must originate in a camera. They can be self developed, commercially developed (by a photo store) or produced digitally. Any enhancement other than overall color and contrast must me made by the photographer. You cannot copy someone else’s artwork including paintings, etchings or other photographs. You can only submit an image once (you can’t enter the same image or a near duplicate in both Print and Projection Divisions).

PRINT DIVISION: Chemical and Digital, Color and B&W Prints are entered in the Print Division.

To Enter a Print: The Image must be a minimum of 35 square inches (5”X7”) not including the mounting. The outside measurements can be no larger than 320 square inches (16”X20”) with or without a matt. A title and the makers name must be on the back, in the upper left corner (no identifying marks or signatures are allowed on the front). An arrow indicating the direction of the top of the image should be placed in the center top, of the back. The image needs a stiff backing, so it can stand on the print stands.

PROJECTION DIVISION: Slides and Digital Images are entered in the Projection Division.

To Enter a Slide: For proper viewing, a slide must have a spot in the lower left corner. Hold the slide with the thumb and first finger of your left hand, the way you want to be viewed; the spot goes where your thumb is on the lower left corner. Print you name and the title of the image on the slide.

To Enter a Digitally Projected Image: Digital Images must be in the jpeg format. The file size cannot exceed 1mb. For projector compatibility, it is suggested that you set your image’s color space to Adobe RGB. Your image should be sent via email or mailed on a CD to the Image Master,  This email address is being protected from spam bots, you need Javascript enabled to view it   so that it arrives at least two days before the Projection Division Meeting (on Tuesday for a Thursdays Meeting).  Make sure the title of the image is in the file name and your first and last name are in the email.  For example the file name might be  "MtRainierByJohnDoe.jpeg".
