2010 Photography Contests
People's Choice Photo Contests
2010 will begin with the four People's Choice contests, from January to April. There'll also be another People's Choice in November, to select the 2011 Yearbook cover. Entries are judged by a vote of those who are present at the meetings. You're invited to provide "photographic interpretation" for each category. Once again, we've got some categories that invite unusual interpretation:
- January - In the Pink
- February - Around the House
- March - Ugly
- April - Spring
- November - Yearbook Cover
Annual Photo Contest
There
are a dozen categories in the 2010 Annual Contest, held in the fall. Nine are horticultural, and, in a bit of a departure from our previous contests, three are non-horticultural.
A couple of other changes that we've made this year are "novice" and "experienced" divisions in the Captured Beauty category, and an invitation for you to show your best garden-related photo of the 2000s in the "Decade of Photos" category.
Here are this year's Annual Contest categories:
Horticultural
- Captured Beauty (flower close-ups)
- Black & White (any horticultural subject, in black and white)
- Garden Sheds (the building usually found in the garden - not an insect shedding its skin)
- Stumps
- Garden Art (Sculptures & structures in the garden, but not including buildings)
- Seed Pods & Seed Heads
- Old Man Winter
- A Decade of Photos (any horticulturally-related subject taken between 2000 & 2010)
- Anything Grows (Any horticultural subject)
- Children's division (6 to 10 years)
- Youth division (11 to 17 years)
Non-Horticultural
- Bridges
- Clouds
- Water (a picture with water as the subject - ponds, rain, fountains, etc.)
Full contest rules will be printed in the 2010 Yearbook.
