DIGITAL SLIDES:

This contest is for digital images based on the definition of "Pictorial Photography". Entries are to be submitted in digital jpg format and they will be projected on a screen for judging. ( All subjects qualify for pictorial. The emphasis is the artistic presentation of the subject.. Interest counts for 1/3 of the score. Be careful about your composition and technique).

During the 2006-2007 Trial Period for this new contest, all general rules apply with the exception that NO POINTS will be awarded toward Clubs of the Year or Photographer of the Year.

The yearlong trial period will be used to learn and refine the electronic system for recording entries and results of judging.

Suggestions and evaluation of the contest should be directed to the N4C Contest Chair, Ken Johnson at kandsjohnson@mchsi.com .

RULES

General – All of the General Rules of Section J of the N4C Handbook and Directory apply(excluding points during the trial period). Also, the method of naming image files eliminates the use of entry forms for this contest.

Theme – Digital imaging based on the definition of "Pictorial Photography" in the N4C Handbook.

Entrant’s Work – Entries must originate as photographs(image captures of objects via light sensitivity) made by the entrant on photographic emulsion or acquired digitally. Images from a digital camera or scanned from film taken by the entrant are allowed. By submitting an entry, the entrant certifies the work as their own and permits the N4C to reproduce all or part of the entered material. This may include low resolution posting on a website.

Image Format – Image files must be in JPG file format. Saving your JPG file using Adobe sRGB color space standard is recommended for consistent color under the projection conditions used for judging the contest.

Image Size – Maximum image width(horizontal) is 1024 pixels. Maximum image height(vertical) is 768 pixels. Smaller images are acceptable. Please keep file size to NO MORE than 500 KB.

Naming Your Image Files – Example 01,DJ048,DP, Beautiful Sunset.JPG

Following this naming convention is vital as this information takes the place of any further entry forms.

a. 01, = to be used on all entries. It may be changed later and used to sequence the judging. The N4C contact of the entrant’s camera club will use this number to sequentially number the filenames being submitted – normally from 01 to 08.

b. DJ048, = entrant’s personal N4C Member Number. :(DJ is the designation for the Duluth-Superior Camera Club. 048 is the entrant’s personal ID Number within their club assigned by the entrant’s camera club. 048 happens to be the ID number assigned to Tom Ling. Contact me, LeRoy Ullrich for your assigned ID number).

c. DP, = the contest category(Digital Pictorial for this contest)

d. Beautiful sunset = the entrant’s title for the image.

e. JPG = the file extension indicating the format of the file(.jpg)

f. Commas are used to populate the electronic record keeping system for tracking and judging.
