THE FINE ART OF EIGHTH ANNUAL JURIED PHOTOGRAPHY EXHIBITION 2018 PROSPECTUS

Categories: • • • Non-Traditional (Please note that the Judges’ assessment of which category an entry will be judged is final.)

Awards: • $500 Best in Show, • Each Category: $250 First Place, $100 Second Place, • Two Honorable Mentions per category

Color and Black and White Categories: This is traditional photography. The image has conventional post processing techniques that enhance the image appearance without changing the pictorial content. Edits and/or effects that changes an image’s appearance from being a normal may be categorized as Digitally Enhanced. Cropping, sharpening, and removal of obtrusive artifacts such as dust specks are allowed. Black and White includes monochromatic and sepia tones.

Non-Traditional Photography (includes the following)

• Digitally Enhanced: An image that does not meet the stricter requirements for the Color or Blank & White categories, or which has been digitally enhanced beyond the appearance of a photograph. It may have subjects or lighting added, removed or otherwise modified to create the image.

• Vintage and Alternative Printing Processes: Despite having been pioneered decades ago, alternative- printing processes — the photogram, , tintype, collodion, Mordançage and others — are still widely practiced. The 21st century has witnessed increased popularity among these and other organic printing methods, as photographers gravitate to the unique, unpredictable and fascinating print characteristics achievable through these time-honored techniques. This is the perfect opportunity to show off your skill and creative vision.

• Pinhole/Plastic Imagery: This category includes , e.g. pinhole and plastic cameras like the Holga, Diana and Lomo. The supposed “defects” of these cameras — light leaks, soft focus, , diffraction, bring a specific character to this field of photography.
