Waverley Camera Club

This year, we will be running an end of year competition for our beginners, new members and registered guests.

If you fall into this classification, the idea of this competition is to encourage you, and get you used to entering images into our competitions

The competition will be judged by none other than our beginners group co-ordinator and club president, Pete Davies!

If you want to enter this competition (and you should) you are invited to submit just ONE entry in an “Open” classification, whichever entry YOU consider to be your best entry. You can submit their entry as an EDI to comp@waverleycameraclub.org . All you have to do is make sure the subject line says “EOY Beginners, New Members & Guests Competition” (Copy and paste this if you like!)

The competition is open to all “B” graders, to all new members to all beginners and our registered guests. The proviso being that you should have submitted entries in no more than THREE of our monthly competitions. If you are not sure if you qualify for this contact Jill Myers our membership secreatrey, by e mail and she will clarify for you.

The competition will be judged on the last of our monthly “Beginners Group” meetings on November 24th. The closing date for EDI entries is Nov 22nd. If you are submitting a print, just bring it along on the night of Nov 24th.

I think, and hope, that this idea will stimulate our beginners to understand what is involved in entering a competition, and to help them loose their reluctance to  enter competitions.

As with the regular EOY competition, a prize and trophy will be awarded to the winner.

Good Luck…and don’t be shy…remember if you don’t enter, you can’t win!

The theme for the November competition was “Open”.
The four winning images for the November 2009 monthly competition are:

A Grade – Print of the Month – “Bicycle Espana” Ron Weatherhead

B Grade – Print of the Month – “Closing Now” Peter Myers

A Grade EDI of the Month – “Generation Gap”  Pete Davies

B Grade EDI of the Month – “My Obsession” Dijana Risteska

Dear Photographer

A unique opportunity to be involved in something new and exciting for Millicent and surrounds, in fact for all photographers amateur or professional, there is a space for you.

In January 2010 Millicent will host the first ever Rotary Photographic Art Exhibition dedicated solely to photography. The event, to be run by the Rotary Club of Millicent will be the largest photography event of its kind in South Australia and possibly Australia. With Prize money of $5,500 and 4 categories plus the Mayoral Award for the most outstanding photograph, the exhibition is being held over the busy January period, and with this there is an opportunity for you to participate and sell your works.

With this in mind I invite you/your members to participate in this inaugural photographic art show.

We anticipate that over 400-framed photographs from across Australia will be received for display within the Millicent Civic and Arts Centre for a period of 8 days from January 8th through to January 15th 2010. It is expected that locals, domestic visitors and a large contingent of tourists will be drawn to the event from right across the region during this peak tourism holiday period.

On behalf of the Rotary Club of Millicent we invite you to participate in this exciting initiative.

Thank you for taking the time to consider exhibiting in this Art Show, which we hope will be the first of an annual growing event.

Please find attached the Entry Form and Conditions of Entry.

Yours sincerely

John Chalmers
President
Rotary Club of Millicent
