Hi All,
The Club photo competition is going to be held in late March/early April so it’s time to get your entries in!

The deadline for entries is yet to be confirmed but will be sometime in March- watch this space for the confirmed date. Happily Grant Newton has agreed to be the judge again.

Winning and runner-up photos get entry into the FMC photo competition so the categories and rules are taken from the FMC competition. They are:

Entries are open only to club members.

The categories are:
ABOVE BUSHLINE
BELOW BUSHLINE
HISTORIC
HUT OR CAMP LIFE
NATIVE FLORA OR FAUNA **

All entries (except in Historic category) must:

• Be submitted electronically with a file size between 500kB and 5MB as .jpg files.
• The only digital manipulation permitted is cropping, sharpening and tonal or exposure adjustments.
• Panoramic stitched images are acceptable provided the only manipulation other than stitching is cropping, sharpening and tonal or exposure adjustments.
• Be taken since 1 January 2010 by a member of the club and may not have won awards in any other photographic competition.
• Entries in the Historic category can be submitted as original prints or colour slides (these will be returned) or scanned and submitted electronically. If scanned they should be at least 600 pixels on each dimension.

No more than 2 entries per person in any one category !

Hi. Did you mean start date of 1st Jan 2010 or did you mean 2011?

[Ian]

Yes, good spotting. I had originally taken the rules off the FMC website, but they’ve since been updated: Photos have to be taken since 1 January 2011.

Thanks, Ian.
