LPA Photographer of the Year Competition. This is open to anyone who cares to enter. (No selection committee). A panel of three prints with a connecting theme is required. All photos need to be mounted in a 50x40 board that most of us use now, but the photo can be a size of your choice. The close off date again is 30 September. Here a some of the rules:
An entry in any section will be a panel of three individual images on a theme (any theme chosen by the author); the panel should carry a title. Each image should be marked clearly Left, Centre, Right, carry the panel title and include author’s name.
3 A member of an LPA affiliated club may submit unlimited number of entries but listed in order of preference in case too many entries are received. The organiser reserves the right to reduce entry accordingly, (each comprising of three individual photographs) in any of the two sections.
4 Titles should not exceed 48 characters including spaces.
5 The maximum mount size is 20” x 16”. Prints may be of any size, which fits the restriction. (Any mount exceeding this size will reject the panel containing it).
6 Any single entry, or re-print, or copy must not have been in the LPA POTY competition previously, this includes modifications from a previous entry or copies from slides onto prints, which is substantially the same. There is no age limit on entries in this competition.
