Photography Competition
Introduction
An annual tradition from the start of the VOC Journal (1958) until the mid-90's, the VOC Photography competition has always been a popular event where the winners actually get trophies (or what is left of them) !
Rules
Each person can submit six photographs. These can be broken up however you wish within the categories. You may submit one photo to each category, six pictures to one category, or any combination you wish.
Categories
- A) Landscapes – no people in the shot. Waterfalls, mountains, sunsets, etc.
- B) Climbing, skiing, and mountaineering – must show one of these activities, or places clearly reached by these methods.
- C) Flora and fauna – plants and animals only. A good place for macro's.
- D) Club Activities – Parties, longhike, winter longhike, glacier school, and all other club activities.
- E) Portraits – Portrait of a person. Preferably in an outdoor setting, or someone in the club.
- F) Misc – Anything that doesn't fit in the other categories.
In addition, there will be a photo chosen as the best overall entry.
2007
Judging: Photo's will be judged by four members of the Executive – Dan Eagen, Kaja Sadowski, Bram Van Straaten, and Matt Breakey.
Prizes: The photograph chosen as best overall entry will be put on the back cover of the 2006/2007 VOC Journal. Other categories will have prizes for first place, and acknowledgements for runners-up. All winners and runners up, as well as other notable mentions will replace the current pictures on the VOC homepage. The winners and prizes will be announced during the VOC Banquet
Submission: Photo's will be accepted only via the VOC gallery on the website. To submit your photo's click “edit” on the photo you wish to submit, and under “keywords” add “a-contest2006” for category A pictures (landscapes), “b-contest2006” for category B pictures (climbing, skiing, mountaineering), and so on. Due to the large numbers of photo's, this will be the only accepted method.
Note: If you submit too many photo's, we will remove them from the contest. If a photo is not in the correct category, it will be removed from the contest. Due to the large number of submission, the judges will not move incorrectly categorised photo's to the correct category.
Deadline for submissions: All submissions must be submitted via the photo gallery by Feb. 5th at 4pm, due to publishing deadlines for the VOC journal.
