2012 Photography Contests
People's Choice Photo Contests
2012 will begin with People's Choice contests in January, February, & March. Continuing with a new competition that we began last year, there will be a People's Choice Contest at the Annual Flower Show and Tea on August 25, with three categories. And as always, we'll have a special competition at the November AGM, to select the photo used for the 2013 EYGC 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.
- January 19 - Frosty
- February 16 - Blue
- March 15 - March Break (Something Broken)
- August 25 (Annual Flower Show):
- The Garden Centre (nurseries, plant sales also included)
- Yellow - One or more yellow flowers
- Signs - Billboards, road signs, signs above store windows, etc.
- November 15 - Yearbook Cover
