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
31st-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.

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.
