The Hulagway Photographic Society and Clique – the MSU-IIT photography club, invite photographers from all over Iligan City to join a digital photography contest focusing on children.
Mechanics:
1. Theme: CHILDREN. Not infants, not toddlers, not teenagers. So these are children roughly aged 3 to 10. Feel free to show the life of a child, or children, in any way you want. They could be happy, in sorrow, at play, at work, whatever. The children should be wearing clothes, or at least pants for boys. Decency is our guideline.
2. The contest is open to any photographer living in Iligan at the start of announcement of this contest until the submission cum judging on December 13, 2009. The entries should be taken starting October 12, 2009 until moments just before deadline.
3. Deadline is 3 p.m. on December 13, 2009 (Sunday). Submit in person, no proxies allowed, unless you are ill, have emergencies, or have official business elsewhere. The point is for us to gather and have fun together. Judging will be made an hour after deadline.
4. No digital tweaking of any kind is allowed, not even cropping. So there can be no post processing of any kind, either in camera, or using whatever software in the computer. Your digital files should be printed as they are, straight from the camera. We have made arrangements with our sponsor, Kodak Express, to print your files using their default settings. So it is advised that you calibrate your camera with Kodak’s default settings, so you don’t blame anybody how your prints will turn out. You can tweak settings in your camera if you want (limited to contrast, sharpness, color balance) before you take the picture, but NOT AFTER. While there are tools to verify if indeed tweaking was made, we understand there are also limits. So we are doing this on an honor system, and everyone is expected to observe honesty.
5. You can shoot either in JPG or RAW+JPG. You may not shoot in RAW mode alone because that could not be printed by Kodak and most photo labs.
6. Prints should be 8x12 inches. The original JPG file should also be submitted at Kodak. Each photographer can submit a maximum of 3 entries. It is encouraged to submit all 3 because we are planning to give a “Photographer of the Year” award.
7. Registration fee: P500 for working people and P200 for students. Only undergraduate students are qualified to pay the discounted P200. A validated ID will be required for students. Registration fee should be submitted at Kodak no later than November 30, 2009.
8. Prizes: 1st - 40% of total of registration fees, 2nd 30%, 3rd - 20%. The remaining 10% will be used later for the “Photographer of the Year” award.
9. The board of judges will be announced on or before November 30. It will be composed of a photographer, a visual artist, and a layman.
