What you need to know to submit images for the Annual Exhibition
The last handover date is 5th January, at the first meeting of the new year, the Digital Workshop at Hazel Grove Bowling & Tennis Club. (Immediately afterwards, the process of administering the entry and supplying them to the judge begins, so work cannot be added later).
Each member may submit up to 6 prints and up to 6 projected images, the latter being any combination of slides and digital images. (This applies to both Intermediate and Advanced classes).
Submission
Entry forms for both prints and projected images may be submitted on paper, (a blank form is available in the downloads area of the club website), or by email to Bill Chadband (see the example on the right, where "026" shows where the member's competition number goes).
Prints should be in descending order of priority, in case it is not possible to hang all submitted prints. All PDIs and slides will be projected. Empty sections (eg. "Slides") may be omitted.
Rules and format guidelines
Projected digital images will form part of our exhibition for the first time in 2010. The images should be submitted on a USB Drive (the strong preference) or on a CD or a DVD. They must be supplied in a defined folder-structure with specific file names. See Guidelines for digital images in member's events.
No image, or one substantially similar to it, may be submitted as both a print and a projected image. Nor may an image, or one substantially similar to it, have been submitted in a previous Exhibition in any format. (But it may have been used in a competition). Each image must have been taken within the last 5 years. Slides must be originals or duplicates of originals, and not have been digitally mastered: this is a new restriction.
Images will not be considered for Natural History awards unless they are explicitly identified as such, and then must conform to the restrictions of the Natural History category. (This only applies to Advanced class. There are no categories in Intermediate class).
