CKCS Annual Hall-of-Fame Photo Contest

CKCS 2010 Annual “Hall of Fame” Photo Contest This year we have an eclectic list of items for our annual photo contest. Based on a vote at the May SIG meeting, the three topics for this year are: Walls, Flowers, and Water. The Contest will be at the July 28, 2010 SIG meeting. Here are the guidelines: • Be a member of CKCS • No photos that have been submitted in previous contests at CKCS can be used. • Each person can submit a maximum of three pictures. They can all be in one category or spread among the three categories. • Picture and matte (if used) can be no larger than 8 ˝ by 11 inches. • With each picture, include a 3 X 5 card with your name, your e-mail address, the name of the picture, and the category you want the picture to be in. If no category is listed, I get to pick which category. (I know someone will submit a picture of someone standing on a wall watering flowers. And what category will that be? Better you chose than me!) • NO hard frames - digital is OK. • Pictures must be placed in my CKCS mailbox no later than noon on Monday, July 26. This year each attendee will be able to vote on the top three pictures of each category. Voters can then select one of their first place selections to be “Best of Show”. See you there!

Annual contest in stead of the monthly version.
