End of Year Competition Guidelines - Projection

The Boise Camera Club Projection Workshop will have four categories
for the End-of-Year competition. The four catagories are Pictoral,
Specific, Monochrome and Creative. In general pictoral will be a
scenic view; think mountains, rivers, cityscapes. Specific will be
flowers, animals, people. Monochrome is tones of one color, Creative
pictures present a fictional or conceptual image, or photographic art.


If you are unsure but it's a great picture, the projection chairman
will decide where to place it.

Awards will be Best of Show, 1st & 2nd in each catagory, and honorable mentions

Members may submit any image using the projection sizing guidelines.
Images that have not been judged in monthly meetings are eligible for
the End-of-Year competition.

Members wishing to compete in the  End-of-Year competition may submit
up to eight (8) total digital images for consideration, two (2) split
between the four categorys. An image can be submitted in only one
category. (It should be mentioned that judges tend to reject projected
images they have seen as prints, even if they won).


1. The images must be in an electronic JPEG file format. The JPEG
image file size should be a minimum of 100 KB but no larger than 350
KB. The maximum pixel size for the image must be 1024 pixels in the
horizontal dimension and 768 pixels in the vertical dimension.


2.FIRST NAME <space> LAST NAME <dot> NAME of IMAGE <dot> Category.JPG
(Category is P,S,M, or C).
For example:  Mike Dingel.Snow Skier.S.jpg


3. Images must be saved in sRGB color space, not AdobeRGB or any other
format. This will help insure colors will match what you see on your
monitor (provided it is properly calibrated) and what is projected.


4. Attach the image(s) to an e-mail addressed to
project@boisecameraclub.org. Please use the title of your image as the
name/title of the attachment.


5. In the body of the e-mail please put your name.
