This article contains what you need to know about the Year-End
Competition. Remember, this competition is not about selecting the best entries for
a single month, but rather selecting the best entries from the monthly competitions for the entire club year (September 2018 through May 2019).
OPEN AND SAVE THE FOLLOWING DOCUMENTS, AS APPROPRIATE, AND THEN FILL THEM OUT:
SEND AN EMAIL TO SSCC HISTORIAN, NORM BERNACHE, at normbernache@comcast.net if you would like a list of all of your print and projected images submitted from September 2018 to April 2019.
Requirements:
- Each member may submit up to 5 projected and 5 print images from
those that s/he entered in monthly club competitions this 2018-2019 season. Eligible submissions need not have won an award in the monthly competition(s) in which they were submitted. But please remember — images submitted for the year-end competition must be identical to those submitted in the regular season competitions and entries must be submitted in the same categories (print or projected) in which they were originally submitted.
For Projected Images:
- Please email your Submission Form list of up to 5 selected projected entries to
COMPETITION@SSCCPHOTOGRAPHY.ORG. Only the titles of your selections are needed: - Please do not resend any projected images; the images that you previously have submitted will be used.
- The selection of projected images must be sent by midnight May 10.
For Printed Images:
- Loose prints will not be accepted. They must be packaged in a portfolio, cardboard slip-case, or even a plastic bag with your name clearly marked on it (the “print package”). Only one member’s submissions may be placed in a single package.
- The appropriate print submission form and attached labels on the backs of the prints must accompany the print package.
- Complete print packages will be accepted at the May 2 and May 9 club meetings. If you anticipate including an entry from the May monthly competition (Monochrome), please wait until the end of competition night on May 9 to submit your print package with the May entry included. Competition prints will be available for pick up at the club’s year end celebration on June 13.
As in other competitions, the judge will select first, second, and third place winners, and as many honorable mentions as the number of entries requires. The winners will be announced at the end of year celebration. The judging is “closed”; it is not held at a regular club
meeting. There are no ribbons or points awarded; however, a Best in Show award will be presented, known as the Len Tuchin Award.
REMEMBER:
- THE DEADLINE FOR SUBMITTING YOUR CHOICE OF PROJECTED IMAGES IS MAY 10.
- YOUR PRINT SELECTIONS MUST BE SUBMITTED AT EITHER THE MAY 2 OR MAY 9 CLUB
MEETINGS. - If you have any questions, feel free to contact Larry Gold, the Competition Chair, at COMPETITION@SSCCPHOTOGRAPHY.ORG
