Eastside Camera Club - 2024 Print Competition

Submit a printed copy of a couple of your photos for a chance to win huge cash prizes and enormous pride!

• Each member can submit up to two prints: one color and one monochrome.
• The first-place color and first-place monochrome prints will win $35 prizes, second-place prints will win $25, third-place prints will win $20.
• Each person can win only one cash prize so we can award cash prizes to 6 different people

The nitty-gritties:

• Print size should be 18x12 inches, mounted on foam board using something like this photo mount spray adhesive
  • The products linked above are examples only, cheaper alternatives are surely available. Steve says that Dollar Tree has cheap but terrible quality 20"x30" foam board for $1.25, and Pete mentioned foam board with adhesive already on it is available). Members have been happy with foam board from JoAnne Fabric and Michaels.
  • Glen paid $21 total for his two prints at Walmart, and they were ready 2 hours after he placed his order and specified the pickup location.
  • Steve paid $15 for each print through Mpix, and they arrived in 5 days.
• To clarify: the foam board size is limited to 18"x12". If you want a border around your print, you'll need to print it smaller than 18"x12", perhaps by including a half-inch white border in your source photo.
• No watermarks or other artist identification is permitted on the front side, so that the voting will be blind and unbiased.
• Put your name on the back side (perhaps just a return address label), and also an indicator for "UP" if it's in any way ambiguous like some of Jeff's creations are.
• Submit your prints at the October 17, 2024 meeting
• Pete will take all the prints to his office for voting
• Your prints will be returned to you so you can recover your costs by displaying them in your home and enjoying them for years to come.
