Rules:
1) Photos entered in all competitions must have been produced after final meeting of previous year (end of last June). The image must be captured photographically (digital or film). Only minor image adjustment is permitted, (cropping,
sharpening, contrast, levels…like you would do in a dark room) for ‘Digital’ and ‘Themed’ photos, and must not be greatly manipulated (i.e. objects should not be added / removed to enhance the shot).
2) For ‘Open’ photos, there will be “no holds barred” on submissions. You can use old, archived photos, plus “Photoshop” (enhance) your image for this category only. But, no photo previously
submitted for any category will be permitted. Nor will photos entered and won in any competition outside the club be eligible.
3) Paid members may submit a maximum of two images per monthly contest (2 for ‘Themed’ digital, 2 for ‘Themed’ prints, and 2 for ‘Open’ prints).
4) Send the person(s) who set-up the competition slide show, your original JPEG file(s). (Do NOT send RAW or TIF files.) This makes it easier for them to set the proper size of all images so they fill the big screen on competition night.
Images are used for the slide show and newsletter only.
5) Digital files must be submitted NO LATER than 6 pm on the Monday preceding contest date by
e-mail to (ONLY this address): photos@stalbertphotoclub.com
6) Digital images shall be titled with underscores to separate each word, using only alphanumeric characters (letters & numbers), starting with your first name and last intial (i.e. barryo_title.jpg).
7) Image size for printed photos shall not exceed 11” x 14”, either horizontally or vertically. Images must also be matted on a mat not exceeding 16” x 20”, either horizontally or vertically.
8) To qualify for competitions, images submitted must include info on: location (where shot was taken), focal length, shutter speed, aperture, ISO, etc. (This will tell others how you took the shot.) A small form (label) designed
for this purpose will be available at the meetings, as well as on the SAPC web site (in PDF format).
