Sandwiches & chips will once again be provided on the night

As always, there can only be a competition if members submit entries.  So please, do make every effort to contribute.  Trophies and prizes will be presented on the night of the competition for the winners.

There will be a further photo show in February, so any photographs or digital images from your travels, which you would like to share with the rest of the club, would be gratefully received.

PHOTO COMPETITION RULES

Printed Photographs or digital images can be submitted for the competition.  In the past slides where allowed to be entered, however the slide scanner is unavailable, so printed photographs should be entered in their place. Digital images can be submitted via email in any memory format, although a disposable CD or memory stick would be preferred.  If you do not intend to be present on the competition night and cannot nominate someone to collect your photographs or memory system, can you please enclose return post and packaging?

As in last years’ competition, images do not have to have been taken in the previous 12 months.  They cannot however have been entered in any previous club competition, and they are not allowed to have been digitally enhanced (in camera menu options and formats are permitted).

Judging of the photos will again be as last year.  That is, the membership present on the evening will award points to each photo shown randomly, by title but without the identity of the photographer.  When all photos have been shown, voting slips will be collected and the total points for each photo calculated. The photos will be re-shown, identified and the score achieved announced. The highest total in each category wins.

Trophies and prizes will be presented on the night.

SECTIONS:

MAIN SECTION:
Members may submit up to 3 photos/slides of mountaineering interest and prizes are awarded for:
LW SMITH TROPHY  - Best Overall Score for 3 photos
DAVE STOTT TROPHY    - Single Best Mountain Landscape
GOLDEN PEG TROPHY  - Single Best Climbing Photo

Members may submit 1, 2, or 3 photos in any combination but will obviously need to enter 3 in order to win the LW Smith Trophy.

HUMOUR SECTION
Separate from, and in addition to the main category, the most humorous photo entered as voted by the members present.  A single photo can be submitted but it is not necessary to have entered the main section.

JUNIOR SECTION

Again, a single photo taken by a member's child aged under the age of 16.  It is not necessary to have entered the main competition, but it is allowed to have been part of the main competition.  Please indicate if it is in both sections.

PRINT SECTION

The subject must be of a scene or activity of interest to the YMC.  Entries must be 10" x 8" (25cm X 20cm), mounted or unmounted.  It is not necessary to have entered any other section.  Prints can be submitted in advance or on the night.
