Each monthly silde and print contest includes competition in an Assigned Subject category. Two slides and two prints may be entered in the Assigned Subject competitions, for which the exposures must have been made within one year of contest date. Two slides and three prints may be entered in the Open Subject competitions, for which there are no restrictions on exposure date or topic.
Printers compete in either Class A or Salon, with color and monochrome prints judged separately.
Conditions for acceptance of commercially printed works are listed in the print rules available at meetings. Competition points will be accumulated separately and individual awards will be given in Assigned Subject and Open Subject categories in each class. Only paid members of the Club are eligible to participate in contests, although others are welcome to attend. Following the judging, constructive criticism will be offered according to request, time permitting. Rules for the annual slide and print Photo Essay contests will be available at meetings in 1999.
