PHOTOGRAPHY RULES
DESCRIPTION
A Photography
entry must be an original black-and-white or color image produced by a
photographic process. The entry must
relate to the theme.
The entry can incorporate such
techniques as montage, multiple exposure, photographic collage, negative
sandwiches, and photo grams. Images may
be manipulated conventionally by the student. However, no digital manipulation is allowed. Images should demonstrate the student’s
proper use of photographic techniques such as depth of field and exposure. They can be made using various lenses,
filters, and light sources. Photographs
with added graphics over the image, including lettering, are not acceptable.
Whether an entry uses a variety of
techniques or a simple approach, it will be judged primarily on how well the
student uses his or her artistic vision to portray the theme. Technique is less important than a
well-developed concept.
RETURN OF ARTWORK
Artwork return will be coordinated
through your school. If you have any
questions please call your school. We
will be returning Regional and State artwork at the Region/State assemblies.
PRESENTATION

* There is no size
limit but if the piece advances to the region or state level then the artist’s
family must accept
responsibility for
transporting the art work for judging and awards nights.

can you put the photo in a page protector with the entry from so nothing happens to it?
Absolutely! We recommend that you do!
