Join us for this year's second print contest! Drop off your prints between 7:00 and 7:15.
All Doña Ana Photography Club Members may bring up to 3 prints to the meeting for a friendly contest. The prints will be displayed and judged by the members at the beginning of the meeting and the results tallied while the program is presented. Results will be shown and discussed after the program, with the emphasis being to learn how to make a great photograph.
Here are the contest rules:
* Entries must be prints with the image no larger than 8.5” x 11”. Mounting is not required.
* The title of the photo and your name must be on the back of the entry. No information should be on the front.
* You may submit up to 3 photos that have not been awarded a ribbon in any prior print contest or Photo of the Year competition.
* There is no time limit for the print contests, but entries taken in the past two years are eligible for the Photo of the Year contest.
* Approximately one-third of the entries submitted will receive either a red or a blue ribbon. There are no classes or categories—all entries compete equally.
* All entries will also count toward our Photographer of the Year award.
* To enter, you must be a paid-up Doña Ana Photography Club member. You may pay your dues online or at any club event, just before submitting your entry..
* Entries are to be brought to the club meeting on the date of the competition between 7 and 7:15 pm, and picked up at the end of the meeting.
* You should be present to learn from this experience; but if you can't be, have someone else bring and pick up your entries.
* By submitting an entry, you consent to it being used for Club publicity.
While the votes are being tallied, Dave Brown will present a program on histograms: a brief exploration of what they are, how to interpret them and what they can tell you about an image.
