COASTAL CAMERA CLUB EXHIBIT RULES
The Coastal Camera Club will sponsor a minimum of two and a maximum of four exhibits per year (September-June). Dues must be paid before entries will be accepted for any show.
Photographs will be judged in the following categories:
1) Nature (no hand of man): Photographs must not include any man made objects, cultivated flora or show signs of human presence.
2) Landscape/Seascape: The main subject of the photograph is the landscape/seascape, not a single feature isolated from it (e.g. a shoreline with a lighthouse, not a close-up of the lighthouse).
3) People: Does not have to be a portrait, but the individual or group of people must be the main subject of the photo.
4) Architecture: The dominant feature of photos in this category should be buildings, domiciled or structures.
5) Creative: This category is for photos that are radically altered after the original image has already been produced, either digitally or through darkroom techniques. It does not include images taken with filters, multiple exposures, cropping, or standard darkroom techniques such as adjusting brightness/contrast.
6) General: Any images that do not fall into the above categories. Only three (3) entries per person is allowed in this category.
7) Nature Touched By Man: Nature must be the predominant feature, but the image can contain man-made elements like a road or a fence. Examples: A hummingbird on a petunia, a hawk on a fence post. Cultivated flowers are acceptable as the subject of a photo.
Photographs may be submitted at any of the following, as directed by the Exhibit Chairperson:
• Show Location (date and time specified)
• Meeting prior to the show.
• Chairperson’s house (by prior arrangement)
Photographs submitted after the appointed date/time may be hung at the discretion of the chairperson, but will not be judged.
Any subject matter is acceptable. However, judgment should be exercised to ensure that the photos are within the bounds of good taste.
Photographs must be framed and wired. Submissions will be excluded from the show if not deemed suitable by the Chairperson. This includes, but is not limited to, photos with damaged frames, broken glass, stained or damaged mats.
Sales of exhibited photographs are subject to a 20% tax deductible donation to the Coastal Camera Club
Exhibit tags can be found here.
