PHOTO CONTESTS

 

 

  • ENGAGING–FUN– CHALLENGING
  • PARTICIPATE JUST IN THE MONTHS YOU WANT
  • LEARN FROM OTHERS’ COMMENTS
The monthly Notch Above Photo Contest is open for posting, commenting and voting by both active club members and sign-ups on Meetup. Both groups will be eligible for monthly “Best of Category”, but only dues paying members will be eligible for the Annual Award.

“POST EARLY – VOTE LATE”

Posting your photos early in the monthly cycle ensures more people will see them and get a chance to vote and comment. Voting later in the cycle will let you vote on a larger selection of photos. Remember – 1 vote/person..
 

POST ON BOTH WEBSITE & MEETUP

Why? Well, posting on our website will draw more attention to the on-line hub for our club. Posting on Meetup will let sign-ups who are not yet active members see your photos, comment and vote on them. And by doing this you help to involve them in club activities.

HERE’S HOW IT WORKS

  • The club dues are in lieu of any photo
    submission fee for the Annual Award.
  • Each contest runs from one meeting (2nd
    Saturday of every month) to the next.
  • Contest entrants are limited to two photos
    per month, and only one can be a
    previously taken photo. A previously taken
    photo must still fit the category for the current
    month. A specific photo can be submitted only
    once per year.
  • Active members should post their photos
    on both the website Photo Contest page
    (NotchAbovePhotoClub.com) and the
    Photos page of Meetup for maximum
    visibility. Meetup sign-ups may post only on
    Meetup.
  • Entrants are encouraged to post their photo(s)
    in the first 2-3 weeks of each month cycle for
    maximum visibility and to give others a chance
    to vote and comment. Entrants should include
    info about their photo(s).
  • If you post a photo on either site you
    must comment on at least one other
    photo. Commenting is encouraged even if not
    voting. Posting, commenting and voting are
    open to both active club members and Meetup
    sign-ups.
  • Entrants prepare their own jpegs for
    submission. In brief, images should be jpeg,
    long side not more than 1200 px, preferably
    “sharpened for web” and jpeg quality ~ 70-80.
    Image file size should be not more than 500 KB.
  • One person/one vote per month, and you
    cannot vote for your own photo(s).
  • Contest categories will be determined going
    forward, and will be a mix of “open” and
    “specific”. Consult the Photo Contest page of
    our website or the Photos page of our Meetup
    for the current category.
  • Monthly awards are in the form of recognition
    as best in category, e.g. “Best in Flowers”, and
    will be posted on both our website and Meetup.
  • There is one winner each month (unless there
    are ties). In December, the Annual Award
    winner(s) will be chosen from the monthly
    winners.
  • If there is only 1 entrant there is no winner that
    month. So encourage others to join up!
  • Active club members need to win in only 1
    month to be eligible for the Annual Award.
  • All prior submissions will be retained for
    viewing under that month’s listing on Meetup.
    On our website they will be moved to the
    member’s page, unless you instruct otherwise.
  • We will explore the possibility of displaying
    prints of contest winners (members are
    responsible for printing their own winning
    photos).
