+ 2020 Inter-Community Competition (May 5th): - POSTPONED
POSTPONED till further notice because of the Corona Virus outbreak.
The Stonebridge Photography Club has been invited to participate in the 2020 Inter-Community Photo Competition.
The competition is an annual event conducted by photography clubs in a number of area adult communities. Members of participating clubs submit digital photos that are projected, scored and critiqued by a judge. This year there are six community photography clubs participating: Four Seasons at Metedeconk, Four Seasons at Manalapan, Westlake Golf & Country Club, Regency at Monroe, River Pointe at Manchester and our Stonebridge Photography Club.
WHEN: May 5th (Tuesday), judging starts at 7:00 pm. (Get there early – there should be snacks and beverages.)
WHERE: In the Clubhouse at Metedeconk (about 30 minutes away)
PHOTO SUBMISSIONS: Each member of our club may submit up to two photos for the competition. All photos must have been taken on or after April 1, 2018 (approximately no more than two years old). All photos must be your own original work, including post-processing.
PHOTO FORMAT:
- Photos must be in digital .jpg (JPEG) format.
- sRGB color space is recommended, but not required.
- There are no required size restrictions for your photo files. However, since the biggest possible image is best, I recommend you size your image to 1050 pixels on its longest side to ensure that you hit the max size that can be handled by some newer projectors. There are no restrictions on the ppi (pixels per inch).
PHOTO FILES: You must provide a title for each of your photo submissions. The title should not identify the photographer; however, the file name should include the title and the photographers name. Ex: Yellow Orchid - John Smith.
This is the first time that PhotoContestPro will be used in an Inter Community competition.
SUBMISSION CATEGORIES: There will be only two categories – Beginners and Advanced. (Pick the category in which you want to submit your photos based on how you feel about your abilities. If you’re unsure, ask members who’ve seen your work.) There are no themes. Both categories will be Open categories including Color and Monochrome photos.
HOW TO SUBMIT: Submit photo files to our Mark via Photo Contest Pro by April 10th. Final submission to the coordinator is April 21. The contests have been set up on PhotoContestPro and your pictures can now be uploaded.
JUDGING & AWARDS: Photos will be projected in alphabetical order. The judge will critique each photo and will give it a score from 5 to 9. The judge will award a 1st, 2nd and 3rd place ribbon in each category. Also, a plaque will be presented to the club whose members achieve the highest average score for all their photos.
Good luck and hope to see you all participate.
