Portlaoise Camera Club Photographer Of The Year POTY 2017
Entries for our annual competition are now open and submission deadline will be midnight on 25th October 2017. Please read the following carefully and if you have any questions or require any clarification please email us as soon as possible. You can also view the information and past results on http://pccpoty.weebly.com/ Who can enter Only members of Portlaoise Camera Club who have an attendance of 25% or greater at club meetings can participate in the PCC Photographer Of The Year Competition which will be held on an annual basis. Minimum attendance for the year 2017 to date is 4 meetings. Categories There are 6 categories in this competition. Each photographer can enter up to 2 images in each category. Therefore the maximum number of images that a photographer can enter in the annual competition is 12. You don't have to enter 12 images but the more images you enter the better chance you have in the competition. The 6 Categories are as follows: A - Open Colour (Colour images only) B - Open Monochrome (Monochrome images only) C - Creative (Colour or Monochrome images) D - Travel/Life (Colour or Monochrome images) E - Nature/Wildlife (Colour or Monochrome images) F - Landscape/Seascape (Colour or Monochrome images) We will not be applying strict definitions (IPF or FIAP) to these categories however photographers should keep to the themes as best they can for each category as the judges might penalise images that do not roughly fit the theme. Images will not be disqualified for not fitting the theme but the judges might show a preference towards images that do comply strictly with the themes. Images This is a digital only competition so prints cannot be accepted. Images entered in previous Portlaoise Camera Club Photographer Of The Year Competitions are not eligible.
Images must be emailed to [email protected] Please state how many images you are submitting to the competition in your email. If you intend to send more than one email with your images please state in your email "email 1 of 3" etc. Image dimensions must be kept between 1000 and 2400 pixels on the long side and must be in JPEG format . Examples of acceptable image dimensions: 1200px x 700px 900px x 1500px Image file sizes must be smaller than 2MBytes each. (Images that are too large or too small within reason might have to be rejected before judging). This is purely for the sake of ensuring that the email address is not "choked" by extremely large file sizes. Images must not have watermarks, logos or borders. This rule is important for the sake of ensuring a uniform look for the catalogue. Each image must be named with the category letter code that it is entered into, followed by photographers name and then the title of the image. (each criteria separated by a hyphen "-" ). Each image must have a title. e.g. F-joebloggs-therockatsunset.jpg Failure to name files correctly might lead to images being rejected. Judges will not be able to see the name of the photographer as this will be changed by the organising committee before judging. By entering images in this competition you are also giving Portlaoise Camera Club the right to possibly select these images for inclusion in any national or international club competition that Portlaoise Camera Club might be entering for as long as that photographer is a member of Portlaoise Camera Club. Judges There will be a panel of 3 judges from outside the club. Each judge will award up to 50 points for each image. There will be no discrimination between advanced, intermediate and beginner level photographers (everyone is competing against each other) except for the photographer of the year awards. Feedback for each image will not be given. Judging panel 2017: To be announced shortly Entry Fee Entry fee for the competition is €10 per photographer. Each photographer who pays the entry fee will receive a CD catalogue of images with a score sheet listing all accepted images . (Nobody will be able to see your scores other than you and the organisers of the competition) All fee paying entrants will also be invited to the Annual Awards Ceremony. Images will not be judged if the photographers entry fee has not been paid and the fee must be paid on or before the deadline date. Fees must only be paid in cash to the organising committee of the competition.
