REGULARLY MONTHLY CONTESTS Our contests make it possible for members to enter slides and prints for comparison and appraisal. Judges from other clubs evaluate the images, to select award and honorable mention entries.
CONTEST RULES Contest Entries Each member is entitled to enter four slides (best 3 out of 4 scores count) and three prints (best 2 out of three scores count) in monthly contests. If a member believes a non-winning slide or print has special merit, it may be re-entered in only one subsequent contest.
Classification Members maybe placed in A, AA, or AAA based on skill and experience. The contest committee, made up of the contest chairman and 2 other members determine the class of new members. Classes maybe combined, if there are not sufficient numbers for competition.
Make-up Entries The Contest Chairman may allow make-up entries in monthly contests. Make-up entries should be submitted on a separate card, and will not be eligible for an award ribbon. If a member knows that they are going to miss a future meeting, they should give their entries to another member, to be entered for them.
Ineligible Entries Previous winners of awards and honorable mentions in regular Salt Creek contests (except President's Trophy and Special Contests) are not eligible. Entries should not be almost identical in subject matter and composition as previous winners.
Prints Prints should be mounted on an 11" by 14" boards. All prints, color and black & white, film & digital are judged together in Salt Creek contests.
Slides Holding the slide right side up as you see it projected, each slide must bear a colored spot (The color designates the class) that is clearly visible in the lower left comer. The title and makers name should also be on the slide.
Monthly Winners Judges select approximately 10% of the entries in each class each month for awards, and another 10% for honorable mentions.
Scores Five honor points are given for each award and three for each HM. Cumulative totals as well as honor points are published each month. In case of a tie, the cumulative honor point score will be taken to determine the winner.
Slide of the Month and Print of the Month After the regular judging is completed, all award entries are reshown to the judges, who then choose the best one as "Slide of the Month" or Print of the Month. Any entry with two "in" votes will be revoted with those receiving three in votes. No runner-up awards are given.
Slides and Prints maybe held by the contest committee for selection as club entries for CACCA and PSA. Other entries maybe taken home after the contest.
PRESIDENT'S TROPHY Each year trophies are awarded for the top slide and top print of a special subject. This award is called the "President's Trophy". The subject for the year is chosen by the club president. A traveling trophy is handed down to succeeding winners, who retain possession until the next years contest. A detachable plaque, engraved with the name of the winner and the year's president, become the property of the recipient. Ribbons are awarded for second, third, and fourth place. No member may receive more than one ribbon.
Members are allowed to enter four images in both the print and slide contest. The same image cannot be entered in both the slide and print contest. All entries must have been taken during the club year and have not been entered in any previous contest. They may be entered in regular contests in, in following years.
Past winners of a trophy may not repeat as trophy winner for a period of two years. They may, however, enter the contest and receive a second, third, or fourth place ribbon.
SLIDE OF THE YEAR and PRINT OF THE YEAR These contests are held at the end of the club year. Each member may enter four entries in each contest, selected from the current season's contests. Three awards are selected from each class. Only one entry per person in each class is eligible for an award. From the top entries in each class, one is selected as the "TOP SLIDE OF THE YEAR or "TOP PRINT OF THE YEAR" and the maker is given a trophy. Entries entered in the President's Trophy Contest are not eligible.
SPECIAL CONTESTS Special contests to promote club activity and for the edification of members maybe held with the approval of the Board of Directors.
