Monthly Photo Contest Topics and Info
At each meeting we have a photo contest. You must be a member to enter but everyone present can vote. We have 3 divisions: novice, intermediate, and open. Members only bring up to 2 images on jump drive or cd. PLEASE size them down to a max of no wider than 1024 pixels or taller than 768 pixels JPEG compressed images. Projector will be set at 1024 wide x 768 tall. Please don't bring full camera resolution 6-12 meg photos since some of the laptops used can't process them very well and it really slows up loading photos for the contest. The goal is to not be picky but to make the contest go smoothly. Thanks for everyones's help! At the end of the year we have our December holiday party in which Oscars are presented to the three divisions Photographers of the Year.2008 Monthly Contest Topics
