2010 NEOWA Photography Contest Guidelines
There will be no separate divisions in the photography contest. Entries for the best photographic image in each category may include black and white prints, color prints, digital prints or color transparencies. There are seven categories: Scenic, Flora, Action, People, Fauna, Still Life and Members in Action. There are no restrictions on when the photograph was taken. Winning photographs from previous years may not be re-entered. There must be at least four entries submitted in a category for it to be judged.
Category Definitions
Scenic Landscape and picturesque settings that may include figures of people or flora or fauna as a center of interest.
Flora Identifiable plant or vegetation should be primary subject.
Action People engaged in an outdoor activity or fauna in motion.
People Person or group in an outdoor-related setting. People are the primary subject and must clearly be recognizable (not simply anybody outside).
Fauna All animal life as primary subject.
Still Life Posed flora, fauna or outdoor-related equipment or materials as the central theme.
Members in Action Any member of NEOWA, past or present, engaged in outdoor activity.
PRIZES First, second and third.
First-place winners will receive an engraved plaque; second and third-place winners will receive certificates.
ENTRIES A flat, one time, $5 entry fee; one fee covers all photo-contest submissions (an additional fee is required for the writing contest). Each Active or Associate Member may submit no more than two entries in each category, for a possible total of 14 entries.
Black and white prints, color prints and digital prints should be printed on a minimum paper size of 8" x 11".The image on the paper may vary in size to best suit the photograph. The category, caption and photographer's name must appear on the back side. Color transparencies must be submitted as 35 mm slides in standard mounts that will fit into a carousel tray. The category, caption and photographer's name must appear on the non-emulsion side of the slide mount.
Note: The cover for the 2011-2012 Membership Directory will be chosen from the winners of the photography contest.
