Photo Competition and
Exhibition of Photos and Art

Enter by 21st September 2013

The Pucklechurch Revel Committee are proud to sponsor the eighth annual Bob Stone Memorial Photography Competition and invite entries from amateur photographers in the local area. There will be two categories for adults and three age groups, each judged separately for first, second, and third place. There will also be a prize for the "best-of-therest", awarded to the image chosen by visitors to the exhibition from among the photos that do not receive a prize from the judges.

    What do I submit?

  • Entrants can submit a maximum of three photos per category.
    All entries must be submitted as small prints (no larger than 4x6" or 5x5") and may be colour or black and white. Do not mount your print on card or paper.
  • Photographs may be printed from film or digital sources and may be cropped from the original image. Images may be digitally altered for special effects, but please include "digitally manipulated" on the back of the print.
  • Photographs must be the entrant's own work.
  • Include the following on the back of the print: category, age group, title (if any), your name, address, phone number and/or email address. To protect the print, use a soft felt-tip pen or write the information on a large label and stick the label to the back of the print.

    • When and where do I submit my photos?

    • Entries must be received by 21st September 2013
    • Place your photo in a sealed envelope and drop off or post to:

    What happens then?

  • Judges come from outside the village and are neutral third parties who have significant experience in photography. The photos are judged anonymously.
    • Judges consider visual impact, composition, and image quality (sharp focus, true colour, quality of print, etc.) in selecting the winners. The judges' decisions are final.
    • Winners may be asked to submit digital images or negatives that can be scanned so the winning images can be displayed on the Pucklechurch Community Website or enlarged for display at the Revel Photography Exhibition or on Revel Day.
    • Photographers retain the copyright on their images. However, by submitting an image to this competition, entrants expressly grant the Revel Committee the right to use the image free of charge for display at the exhibition, on Revel Day, and for publishing on the Pucklechurch Community Website and in Pucklechurch News.
    • All suitable entries will be displayed at the Revel Photography Exhibition in the Village Hall on 13th October and thereafter in the Village Hall meeting room.

    • What are the prizes?

  • There will be cash prizes and certificates for all winners, awarded at the Revel Photography Exhibition on 13th October.
