PHOTOGRAPHIC COMPETITION ASSIGNMENTS FOR 1998
JANUARY - PHOTOJOURNALISM. Photojournalism is making a photographic story out of an event. Sports and accidents are popular subjects but any picture of daily life which tells a story is considered photojournalism. The most successful images are those which combine technical expertise with a dramatic or emotional event. Manipulative techniques are not permitted.
FEBRUARY - NATURE. Nature photography depicts observations from all branches of natural history, especially plant and animal life in their natural state. A well informed photographer should be able to identify the subject matter and certify to its honest presentation. Evidence of the human element should be unobtrusive and enhance the nature story. Images of cultivated plants, animals in captivity, still life, domestic animals, mounted specimens, and those in museum or zoo habitats are ineligible. The use of manipulative techniques is not permitted.
MARCH - ARCHITECTURE/ARCHITECTURAL DETAIL
APRIL - PORTRAIT. A formal human study. The portrait may include the subject's entire body or just part of it. The best portraits capture the personality of the subject through lighting, posing and apparel.
MAY - CARS
JUNE - WORM'S EYE VIEW
JULY - ANIMALS
AUGUST - CLOSE UP
SEPTEMBER - TRAVEL. A travel image captures the feeling of a time and place and portrays a land, people or culture in its natural state. Ultra close-ups which lose their identity, studio-type model pictures, or obviously manipulated images do not qualify. Travel images have no geographical limitations and may be domestic or even local in origin.
OCTOBER - STILL LIFE. A still life is an arrangement of inanimate objects (flowers, fruit dishes, bottles, etc. are examples) with emphasis on composition, shape, color, lighting, texture, and/or camera angle. The most effective images invoke a feeling or tell a story.
NOVEMBER - CHURCHES
DECEMBER - CONTEMPORARY. Contemporary photography stimulates the mind of the viewer to interpret the message conveyed through the creative use of line, form and color. It may be an abstract image of a real subject or a deliberate alteration of reality derived from an original image using a manipulative technique such as has relief, posterization, solarization, multiple exposure and so forth. Images which have been generated or modified by a computer also qualify.
