If the winner of the 2020 is an APS Member then that entrant will receive both cash amounts – totaling$10,000.  An Emergent Designs voucher valued at $1,000 will be awarded to another finalist selected by the three judges (who will be announced very soon). The winners will be announced on Thursday 9 July 2020 at the 6.30 PM AEST opening of the exhibition of the finalists’ prints at Magnet Galleries’ Melbourne Docklands Gallery. | Each entry must be a still work that has been substantially produced by photographic means, including analogue and digital photography, collage and mixed media. Each entry must be accompanied by an Artist’s Concept Statement of no more than 100 words. Each entry must not have been previously selected as a finalist in a Prize or exhibited at a major public institution. Entries must have been created in the twelve months preceding the closing date for entries (1 May 2020).

HHCC – External Competition

RIDGEWOOD CAMERA CLUB
2020 INTERNATIONAL PHOTO EXHIBITION 

Dear Fellow Photographers:

The Ridgewood Camera Club of Ridgewood, New Jersey, USA, is now accepting entries for our 37^th Ridgewood International Exhibition and would like to invite you and the members of your Camera Club to participate. The Photographic Society of America, Projected Image and Nature Division (PSA 2020-059), recognize the Ridgewood International Exhibition.  The Exhibition is open to all – you do not need to be a PSA member to enter. A panel of three judges will score the images entered and participants may earn “Acceptances”.  

Acceptances are often seen as photography boasting rights. They can also count toward Star Ratings and other PSA distinctions. The Ridgewood International brings together individuals who have a mutual interest and love of photography. We may all speak different languages, but we do have one language in common, that is the “Language of Photography”. This year, we are again inviting photographers worldwide to take part and enter their best images to the Exhibition.  We cannot contact all of your members personally; therefore, we are asking you, through your organization, to forward our invitation and make your members aware of the Exhibition.

There are four sections:

• Projected Image Digital – Color
• Projected Image Digital – Monochrome
• Nature Digital
• Nature Digital – Wildlife 

All of the information about the Ridgewood International is posted on the Ridgewood Camera Club website www.ridgewoodcameraclub.net. There you will see “International Exhibition” on the left side drop down box, where you can see all of the information including the Entry rules, the Entry Form and the fees.Thank you for your attention and we look forward to having your members participate.

Sincerely yours,

B. Alex Bahtiarian

HHCC – Selecting a previous photo online for the competition

Hi All,

A few people are having issues using the “select from a previously uploaded photo” feature of the competition page.

When you select the “select from existing uploaded images” button you will get the list screen with all of your previous photos. You need to click on the actual thumbnail of the image you want to use on the far left side, not the name of the photo next to it (which is a different function).

The image will open and at the top of the window is a button which says “enter this image in photo and projected image of the year”.

Once selected you will then be taken to the submission screen where you can select the category as usual.

Cheers

Dave

We are putting together a great programme for 2020 with several social outings where you can learn technical skills etc., and we will be introducing a new 1 day Photo Challenge with Pennant Hills Photographic Club which will be revealed at the AGM.  If you would like to help co-ordinate a social outing next year please let the Events Co-ordinator know.
