Cowboy Carnival Photo Display and

Contest

May 29 and May 30, 2010

New 2010 Rules to be posted soon.

NOW IS THE TIME!

WE WANT YOU TO ENTER!

Just for entering you have a chance to win cash or prizes.  Everyone who enters this photography contest has a chance to win a prize--most likely
money ($100 or so).  For each entry your name will be put in a hat, and a winning ticket for cash (and/or prizes) will be drawn.

All other winners will be People's Choice Judging.

Three Divisions:

·         Amateur  (Three categories-large, medium, and small pictures)
 
Amateur definition is anyone who has not profited from his/her photography in any way other than photo contests. Photos are not digitally enhanced.

·       Professional (1 category)
Professional definition
is anyone who profits from his/her photography
in any way other than photo contests.  Photos
are
not digitally enhanced.

·       Digitally Enhanced (Professional and amateur are together in this division.)
Digitally Changed/Manipulated Division means there was PHOTOSHOPPING or other digital manipulation for the specific photograph. This does not apply to photographic techniques contained within a camera's abilities (i.e. a manual shutter release used at night to capture fireworks or moving traffic). Nor does it apply to CROPPING an image. Because of varying darkroom techniques, this usually happens in some form anyway and is therefore allowed here.

In the amateur division (only) there will be three categories of People’s Choice Winners:
     
Category 1: 5 x7 inches and smaller
       Category 2: Larger than 5X7 up to and including 8x10
       Category 3: Larger than 8x10

There will be a small fee for entering this year. Here is how that works: Each entry is $1.00 apiece. The first through 10 entries are a dollar apiece. After 10 entries, up to 20 entries (by the same person), it is free. Twenty-one through 30 will be $1.00 apiece, 31-40 free and so on. In other words, 10 pictures will cost $10 and 20 pictures will cost $10. Here is an example:

1st-10th photo(s) entered $1.00 apiece
11th-20th photos entered free
21
st-30th photos entered $1.00 more apiece
31
st-40th photos entered free
etc. to infinity and beyond

The money from each division and category of entries will be used to pay the People's Choice Winner for that division/category. We will retain 10% of the money to help fund next year's show. If money is an issue for you, call Denise.

Complete a label for each picture. We will fill in the entry number.  Click here to print labels.

ALSO, PLEASE
label the back of your photo with your name, contact information, and division. Please do not put your name on the front unless you don't care if it is not voted on for People's Choice Awards. We will take entries clear up to the morning of Cowboy Carnival as long as you are willing to help with the displaying of your entries if we run out of time. We can take photos at any time if you wish us to do so, but we have heard that people do come on Saturday and like to see pictures. You are certainly welcome to price your photograph--Although, if your name is on the front at all, even in a watermark, it will be disqualified from prizes, but you probably won't care about that anyway if your name helps sell the photo. We are asking that if you do sell a print, that HCC receives 10% of the profit (negotiable).

FYI:  If you are not going to be there for all of the carnival, please ensure your name and phone number are on the picture, so we can call you in case you win. If we cannot reach you, we will pass on to the second place winner (and so forth.) Also, please make arrangements to pick up photos right after the carnival or the next morning.

If possible, please have a way for us to hang the picture.

Warning
Please know that we will do our best to keep your photographs safe and secure. However, be forewarned that the Hyattville Community building is old with the problems that come with old buildings. Please do not enter any photographs that you can not live without in case they happen to get damaged or stolen.
